I'd much rather see a grassroots-inspired drop in sales than any sort of government sanctions, tariffs, or trade wars. I think it sends a much stronger message and has a greater effect.

What the Europeans don't understand is the patriotism of americans. It is something very foreign to them. We don't need a Government to tell us what to do. Grassroots are working so much better. The best way we can get at the frogs is Tourism. Right now France is the number 1 tourist destination for Americans. We need to add a few 0's to that one.

And a much longer effect. People are creatures of habit. When soccer-mom-Susie starts picking up a bottle of Ozarka water instead of Evian, she ain't gonna switch back to Evian.
