Why Boycott France
France’s attempt to block, veto and prevent regime change in Iraq was not characteristic of a friend and ally. Each day that France decided to support Saddam Hussein, American citizens, the American economy and American soldiers were put at risk.
The French are not reliable partners in the War on Terror, and in many cases get in the way of successful prosecution of the war effort. They are ungrateful (see France's Unpaid Debt in the sidebar), and young French people even desicrated American graves, the very men who lost their lives in liberating them.
I advocate boycotting products sold and made by French owned companies and avoiding French travel destinations.
