A THREE DAY GENERAL STRIKE?
Some leaflets circulating in the Iraqi capital have already-tense residents even more on edge.

The leaflets are purported to be from the "Arab Baath Socialist Party -- Regional Command." They call for a three-day general strike starting Saturday -- and also say the day will mark the start of some kind of uprising.

Pretty gutsy...it will be interesting to see how many, if any, heed the call for the strike.

What if "they held a strike and nobody came?"

Might indicate just how little the Arab Baath Socialists mean to the Iraqis.
