Boycott French Goods
Posted By John Moore on February 27, 2003
[UPDATE FOR FRENCH READERS: We are at war with terrorism. Iraq is just one campaign. For those of you who want to stop us, watch THIS and you will see why we will NOT STOP UNTIL ALL POTENTIAL ENEMIES ARE DEALT WITH!]
[UPDATE 3/27/03: It turns out that the French are the reason our troops were unable to transit Turkey - click here for details. This treachery against our troops during war is yet another reason to boycott these slime.]
[UPDATE 4/20/03: The US has lost only one A-10 tank-buster aircraft ever in combat. It was lost near Baghdad Airport to a French-made Roland missile. A cache of Rolands was found nearby, with year 2002 dates on them - a clear sanctions violation.]
[Update 4/20/03: The US would like to restart the oil-for-food program and to remove sanctions from the now-defanged Iraq. The French and Russians, who before the war wanted a reduction of sanctions, now want to keep sanctions in full force, to the detriment of the people of Iraq. They are doing this completely unwarranted and transparently cynical act of blackmail in order to force good commercial deals from Iraq.]
France has been obstructing America’s effort to defend herself, and has been doing so out of its own selfish economic and political interests.
If you dislike this behavior, send the French a message by not buying their goods. If you are French, replace your government!

O.K. People, we need to communicate that it’s not so much the French and German peoples that we are after! We are after their leaders! Since we can’t vote in their parliaments, all we can do is put pressure on the voters of the two countries to tell their elected Ministers of Parliament to have a vote of no confidence to remove Schroeder, Villepaine, and of course Yellow Jacques Chirac from power! ( I call him yellow Jacques not for cowardice, but because he is like a bad disease and he makes me feverish with anger!!!!! We also want the rench Intelligence services to cooperate fully with ours on Iraq( I’m sure they know where the W.M.D.s are!)
hello!
I’m living in Brussels (Belgium).
I don’t understand why to boycott some products (american or french or russian or ….) because the country was favorable or not to the Irak War II. What will it change? Will I stop to eat big mac? no. Will I stop to drink wodka because tchetchenian war? no,…
P.S.: fries are from Belgium. It does not matter because Belgium was against war in Irak…
It would be wise to remember who fought off the British for American independence. Who donated the most memorable US landmark The Statue of Liberty. You owe everything to France and as a republic you have more in common than the UK. If the US wishes to be the nation it brags to be, then treating all nations as equals, and not through bullyboy tactics, would go a long way to repairing the damage of a foreign policy gone rotten.
One reason people hate America, is because you the people, the non-voting free people, choose to satisfy yourselves with materialism, and allow the corporations and politicians to rape the rest of the planet. Until you exercise your gift from France and expect more Jeffersons, Lincoln et al, then you will go the way of all previous empires.
Other than the one short period of the Revolution, and during wars when our help was needed, France was antagonistic towards the US for most of history. And our revolution didn’t result in a series of governments, some extremely brutal.
Even during the revolutionary war, France helped us to hurt Britain, not out of altruism.
Your nation stabbed mine in the back last year. For crass commercial reasons, and to check the power of the United States, your nation and Russia (speaking of raping the planet) tried to stop our replacement of one of the worst regimes in modern times, an action we undertook to increase the security of the free world. Would you prefer that Saddam Hussein was still in power, with the (inevitable) end of sanctions?
It would be utterly silly to treat all nations as equals when they are not. Why should a 17th Century Treaty of Westphalia, meant to cement the power of monarchies, be our guide in the 2001? Should we treat the tyranny of Belorus the same as France? Should Lichtenstein have the same influence as India? Should Islamofascist Iran have the same influence and be treated as well as Canada? This equality among nations is a silly idea and always has been. Equality under the law for individuals is the principle in America. Nations are not individuals, are not created equal in any way, and have radically different characteristics and behavior.
We used our military because we were viciously attacked. Of course, our critics seem to have forgotten that, and are unwilling to understand Tge poor state of European press coverage explains a lot of European ignorance about world events. It used to be the other way around, but now European media is so full of politically correct and anti-American propaganda that Europeans I meet or converse with have little idea of what is going on outside of Europe, and especially in America.
Strangely enough, when I lived in France in 1991, this anti-Americanism wasn’t nearly as virulent… in fact, I detected none of it. But it has always been latent… France has long considered itself the intellectual and moral leader of the world, when in fact it lost the former position in the 20th century and never held the latter position. France reminds me of a bully who has found a bigger guy on the playground who ignores him.
Oh, and what is this “non-voting free people” nonsense? I voted for Bush and will do so again this year.
As far as corporations and politicians raping the planet, corruption in France is vast compared to the US. Just look at who was on Saddam’s Oil-for-Bribes payroll! And France has sold nuclear facilities to anyone who asks. France also feels perfectly free to intervene in African states without international agreement, which it has done twice in the last 2 years, even while protesting coalition actions in Iraq.
Furthermore, France has a history of colonialization, with brutal rulers who left behind seriously damaged societies compared to those ruled by Britain. We had to try to rescue one of those, Vietnam, after France screwed it up. The US does not and never has had colonies. But we are the ones raping the rest of the planet?
I’d say you folks should remember the gift we gave you, at great cost, twice in the last 100 years – your freedom. And perhaps you should also do a little self examination, and realize that your society is in advanced stages of decadence, incapable of moral decisions and frustrated that the world no longer bows down and kiss your shoes. French used to be the language of science. Now English is. Why do you suppose that is? French used to be the language of diplomacy. Now English is. Why do you suppose that is?
Have you been to Omaha Beach? Americans landed on that narrow beach surrounded by fortified hills, and advanced from there and other beaches to liberate France (along with the British). It was once covered with the bodies of American soldiers. Now it is covered with French cottages.
And you want us to be grateful?
France should stick to what it does best… making food. I miss Parisian food, and one of these days will probably go back, although your excess crime rate makes it more dangerous than going to a good French restaurant in New York City.
This war is stupid. we should turn the other cheek just as Jesus would. The US is so arrogant and we haven’t learned anything from 9/11.
So stupid…
And what do you think of your poor soldiers’ games ? What do you think of the interests of your idiot president in gas ? Do you agree that your people kill some other just to appear a powerfull country !!! I hope your president will not win the next time.
A french boy that relates the opinion of many french people about people like you.
I would like to say, that we all should vote for our president agagin. Never did we ever have such a charming, warmhearted and truely intelectual man as a president.
He will prevent the country from all bad influences.
I think he is godlike, I really do. I think he is another Jesus. Look at the expression on his face, the way he talks… so freely so poetic so beautiful.
i love this man.
