It is called making a statement in support of the America you seem to hate.

That's a rather harsh assumption to make about someone. Don't be so zero-sum. I don't hate America. I just don't hate France either. Heck, while I'm at it, I have nothing against the good people of Nepal or Upper Volta, either.

When the people of Nepal or Upper Volta start drawing swastikas on the graves of war dead that died liberating them from the Nazis, then perhaps I would form an opinion about them too.

France *caused* this war. Our young men and women are once again bearing the baggage of France. Had France not telegraphed their utter unwillingness to back up any resolution with force, said force may very well have not been necessary.

Why, then, should Americans be wrong in deciding not to do business with those that make our young men and women die for them, yet again, without gratitude?
