The "funny" - funny if it isn't your job, I suppose - thing about the boycott of French products is that the folks who'll pay are the AMERICANS who lose jobs when the companies selling French products in the United States have to start laying off workers.
But it sure is a very cool way of beating your chest and proving how red white and blue you are ...

Well, people can always find other jobs -- it's not like the money which is no longer spent on French goods and services just evaporates -- it still gets spent or invested. Someone will be the recipient of it.
In response to your condescending tone (chest beating).... It seems to me that if American citizens really believe the French approach puts them in danger, then a boycott is more than just patriotic chest thumping -- but that was a nice attempt to sneak a disingenuous red herring straw man in there, PD.
