I wholly support the call for US citizens to counter the terrorist boycott by buying Danish. But keep in mind that the Danish companies now losing business in the Middle East have almost certainly agreed to Arab demands to boycott Israel in exchange for being allowed to sell to Arab countries, or they wouldn't have the Arab business to lose. There is a beautiful irony there.

The other irony is that the Muslim cartoon brouhaha may push the jihadists to focus on European targets rather than the Great Satan. Another major terrorist attack in the heart of defeatist Europe might be the rallying point that dying culture needs. Churchill hardly wanted the US Pacific Fleet to be destroyed at Pearl Harbor, but when it happened he knew that Britain would be saved.

Yep. I found out in the link below that the annual report of Arla, the Danish dairy products company getting the most attention in the press, makes apparently does no business in Israel, even though it's a wealthy company and American dairy farmers can sell there.

Live By the Boycott...
