I don't know what will stop the French decline. I do know how to insure that decline continues to pick up speed.
Boycott their products, services, companies and don't go on vacation to their $hitty country.
French Products to Buycott
Make it a lifestyle to avoid French products or products made by what appear to be a non French company in America. The reality is that many of these companies like Wild Turkey are owned by the French.
Let them fear the American Street---our combined wallets.
"France has burned too many bridges!"
Lets keep burning those bridges that the slimey and worthless frogs keep trying to build post Iraq.
$crew the $limey Frogs with a Boycott and no vacations in Slimey Frog Land!
French Products to Buycott
We can resist their wines which usually come in behind the good Napa Valley Wines and Australian wines in blind tasting without French Judges like in the Winter Olympics.
We can do without French Products and services for the rest of this decade. Here is a list of French companies and their products to avoid for the rest of this decade. Please keep this list and send it to your relatives, friends and fellow conservatives via e and snail mail!

The answer: NOTHING. France has been circling the drain since Napoleon was exiled.

35 hour work weeks, 7 week vacations and 5 million Muslims as well as a state which allows 15,000 of its elderly die.
There is also a philosphical disease process at work there.

Extinction.

France must continue to stab their allies in the back. This will wound their allies and thereby relatively raise them.
As the rightful ruler of the EU, France must also continue to demand exceptions from the rules applied to all the other EU countries. Nothing will show French dominance of the EU and the world like ignoring the rule that are only for the little countries.

What can halt the 'French decline?' Having America elect Dean or Clark as President of the United States.
Both Dean and Clark have stated that they would take no military action to protect U.S. vital interests without U.N. apporaval. With the French Security Council veto, France would have control over the use of the most powerful military force in the world.

What can halt the decline of the Hurrians?
In 100 years, who will care any more about one than about the other?
There is an important task at hand with the France of the present, however. Never before have archaelogists had such a field of opportunity.
The ruins and relics can be tagged and catalogued while actually standing, making the elaborate process of reconstructing, sometime in the 22nd century, a quaint forgotten civilization that much easier for the few scholars of that day in whom a love of the systematic might induce a mild curiousity.
