Shopping...hmmm...check the Euro recently?

This is an American boycott of the French. Brits can do as they like though I understand there has been a minor boycott from Brits too.

Our absense in France has supposedly caused a price drop which many Brits have taken advantage of. I don't care much either way. It was America that France was trying to harm.

I think the stalling tactics of the French and Germans at the U.N. cost American and British lives in combat. It would have been safer and even quicker had they not tried to stop us in the U.N. I regard both as rival powers, if not outright enemies. We've played this game before with Euroweenies. We'll see how it works out.
