But that's EXACTLY what Bush & Co. are doing in Iraq, exactly what this
war is intended to achieve. "We will disrupt your life and business until
you do what we want."
(The side statement of "we won't tell you what we want" is another matter.)
If it's allowed for one side, it MUST be allowed for the other. If Bush
& Co. stop dropping bombs, then I'm sure the protests and traffic stoppages
will stop too. Or am I missing something here?

No, you don't. Which is kind of sad, really. It'd be a more honourable
way of life...
