Noting the French military triumph yesterday (see Le Monde item below), I'm wondering if boycotts of French products are enough. But what is there that is so evocative of France that making ass---es of ourselves over it would send a correspondingly petty message of hyper-adolescent nationalism? I can think of no place where France has made an equally significant inroad into American culture, and destroying the small projects of individuals would be an attack on "the little guy" with an anti-American character.Guess we'll have to settle for being the most powerful nation on earth.
But if your hamburger goes up to $.80 next week, you'll know what they need the penny for.
