There is a growing movement in europe to boycott usa products  , especially the oil companies...

And in the light of america announcing the 15 (all american) preferred companies to rebuild iraq, ranging from  replacement mobile-phone technology to heavy industry , and ignoring any competitive offers from other UN countries;
I, personally, have chosen not to buy any products made in the usa.

Yes , it`s unfortunate that the US public and certain companies will suffer the effects of boycotts (and short-term Tax increases),
 but there it is a peaceful protest that WILL be recognised by the government.
It is up to the government to judge if it`s current global policy's are really worth carrying out...

@smerf

The fact remains that 9/11 has nothing to do with iraq ; And as of this time it seems that there are no WMD...
It seems to me that this is an illegal war, who`s only good outcome will be the deposing of an evil dictator,
 but , i do not believe that The allies attacked iraq for humanitarian reasons. It would be too naive to ignore all the dirty covert operations that the US government has (and is) done in the past.

However, if the US do not want to control EVERYTHING in the post iraq war reconstruction, and perhaps allow the UN to bid for the  lucrative commercial  contracts, then i may reconsider...
