BOYCOTTS FOR PEACE

The Berliner Zeitung notes that the German bicycle maker Reise and Mueller has decided to boycott U.S. producers of bicycle parts and accessories because of the war in Iraq. Around 10% of the company's parts come from the U.S.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer notes similar boycotts of Coca-Cola and Marlboros, among other items, throughout Europe.

On the other side of the world, Indian groups have called for boycotts of Coke and Pepsi (see this article in Rediff.com).

In South Africa, according to this article, anti-war groups have also called for boycotts of American goods and are suggesting that stores that hold to the boycott should advertise this fact with signs in their windows that read, "This... store opposes US military aggression."
