The idea seems to be to punish commerce for a day, regardless of the business owners position on the war, that sounds pretty leftish to me. You can't blame the Iraq conflict on folks trying to make a living. Find a way to slap down all the officials who supported the war. Avoid doing business with war mongers but don't blame your local coffee/bike/book shop. One mans symbolism is another mans bread and butter. Of course the war mongers will be out spending like mad to prove they're patriotic...
