It's hard to boycott a lazy country like France that produces so little. I did find out that a cosmetics retailer that has stores in a few malls...Sephora...is owned by some French. Was one of the few things I found to boycott. Also, l'oreal and lancome cosmetics.

Will the French and Germans be hurt by an American consumer boycott? I hope so.

10. Don't drink french wine

I haven't in years. There are plenty of wines from California, Chile, Australia, and other places that are cheaper and better than French wines.

France owns a lot of companies in the U.S. that it is counting on to save it in this boycott. We need a list of French-owned or partially-owned companies to boycott as well to make it effective.

Just listening to Fox n Friends and a man was on from

www.citizensunited.org

His web site is presently in a campaign to boycott French and German products.

He says that these leaders need to be taught a lesson that their actions have consequences.
