I was looking over some trade stats the other day, and was interested to find that imports from France have actually risen since the onset of the Iraq war. I guess that leaves only RB Wacko and Bill O'Reilly still boycotting France. Would you like a large 'Freedom Fries' with that?

I've never once suggested that anyone boycott France or french products.
I have pointed out that France, like some of those who post on this board--seem to sing loudest in the 'Blame America First' choir.
Their history of not being willing or able to defend their country or their interests in the last 70 years is not one that Americans who are interested in self preservation should emulate.
When their not looking down at Americans and capitalism, France also enjoys being by far one of the most anti-semitic and pro-socialist countries in the world.
So when John "Pierre" Kerry tells us we need bow at the alter of the UN and ask France's permission to protect our interests, I think Gene Simmons said it best,"He may be a good leader some day, but right now I think Mr. Kerry would make a good president of France."
Why would any clear thinking person want or seek the respect/approval or military assistance from a country that looks down on America and Americans and isn't even willing to fight to protect themselves?
BTW--I like 'Freedom Fries' skin-on style with tartar sauce.
