You are free to do what you believe and I'm not trying to change your mind. Some people just don't like boycotts. Just to let you know that there are a lot of serious reasons for people who do boycott though.

Suppose everyone had decided to boycott the US because of segregation in the South?

It might have ended sooner, who knows.

Suppose people started boycotting US because of US involvement in Iraq?

They are.

Please do not get me wrong. I understand why people want to boycott French goods. I am also not saying that people are simpletons for boycotting France. My reason for posting is to offer a different opinion. Everyone has a right to protest in their own way. I kmow that Chirac has pretty much soured his country's image for a long time. Remember when boycotting South Africa was the thing to do? I didn't. I was happy to see entertainers going there to sing despite death threats. I mentioned the South right? Well if I had time, I'd visit South Carolina just because the NAALCP said no should. I'd mail Kwesi all the rebel flag souvenirs I bought. Boycotts are not my style.
