Boycott all French Goods

It is amazing to me that the French begged the United States to save them from the Nazi's when Hitler threatened, and invaded THEIR country, but when the US is threatened they turn a blind eye toward us....

I, for one, will not knowlingly purchase goods from French firms. Go to: http://www.actufax.com/
to look up French firms, and show your support of the USA.

Also, place your vote at: http://www.vote.com/vote/60061059/
to tell the French Government how we feel about their actions....

I'm going to bump this one down to the Scuppers as it really isn't much fishing related...

We almost made "Freedom Toast" Sunday morning but went with (non-european) waffles instead...

Driving to work this morning I heard a DJ talking about some research he had done when he couldn't find answers to the question why France wouldn't join in if it came to that. He said one thing he learned was that France have been trading food and arms with Iraq in exchange for oil. This might explain their actions a little. I don't know if it's true or not and I would hope the DJ isn't stretching the truth, but regardless, I agree with this boycott. The US must bring in alot of French goods so if an effort like this means we open their eyes as to who their true allies are and what it might mean to their economy not to have the US revenue, I'm all for it.
