There are people I thought could actually see things from both sides, appreciate that there is more than one opinion, instead I find that they are narrow minded.

Come on Alex, you give up too easily... I think you know that most people here CAN SEE things from both sides, but have simply chosen to BE on one side or the other. I personally have strong feelings about the whole thing (this thread/french boycott). Yes I love my country, yes I have the worst gas guzzling American cars on the market, yes I'm a conservative at heart, yes I think Saddam has to go no matter the cost, yes I think the French govt. is in the wrong for not backing us and the U.N. ... yet those feelings don't drive me to boycott the French products that I do consume. It's my RIGHT as an american to choose what I want to consume and if I want to buy french products, then our free marketplace will determine what price I have to pay for it. Do I think any less of the people in this thread that choose to boycott French products? .. of course not, many of them are my dear friends and I repsect their choice, hopefully they will show me the same respect.
