If you think that boycotting French products will do anything to hasten the decline of the French nation you're wrong. They are flushing themselves down the crapper with both hands on the chain and what you propose is like peeing in the bowl as they swirl away.

Now if you mean to boycott as a matter of principle, to register your displeasure with French policy, well that is a reasonable response to their actions.

Boycotting French products is definitely making a dent in their economy. Plus, it is waking the French people up to the fact that politicians like Chirac who indulge in fantasies of sticking the knife into the U.S. to prove French greatness are only hurting France.

The lesson needs to be driven home.

Sounds like a plan.

We are killing their wine, cheese and other imports with our boycotts.

Americans are flocking to the UK and not going to France.

If you don't think our boycotts are whacking them, you are not even peeing into the bowl. Nice try though.
