Join the "Boycott France" Campaign. Please review this list of major French companies that Americans should boycott. Millions of Americans are joining the Boycott France campaign led by NewsMax.com
Please forward this e-mail to as many friends and family as possible.
If everyone who gets this list from NewsMax would send it to just two friends, within 10 days, more than 100 million people will be contacted! Again, please review the e-mail below, print it out, copy it, and share it with your friends and family.
France has every right to disagree with America. But France has moved from simple dissent to active hostility toward America.
French President Chirac warned East European nations that if they side with America, France will oppose their membership in the European Union.
This week, William Safire reported in the New York Times that France has been secretly helping to arm Iraq -- and has been helping Iraq build long range missiles. These same missiles may soon be used against American soldiers. (and providing aircraft parts)
Just as France is exercising its right to disagree, Americans can exercise their right to boycott -- and avoid helping companies and countries that do no stand with America.

If you really want to play that game, you have a lot of competition...
=================================================
Anti-war protesters worldwide boycott American goods
Anti-war activists have extended their protests to a global boycott of American goods, including Coca-Cola, Budweiser, Marlboro, American whiskey and even American Express cards.
A growing number of restaurants in Germany are taking everything American off their menus to protest the Iraq war.
Although the protests are mainly symbolic, waiters in dozens of bars and restaurants in Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, Bonn and other German cities are telling patrons, "Sorry, Coca-Cola is not available any more due to the current political situation."
One website, //www.consumers-against-war.de, calls for boycotts of 27 top American firms from Microsoft to Kodak while another, //www.adbusters.org, urges the "millions of people against the war" to "Boycott Brand America".
Consumer fury seems to be on the rise.
Demonstrators in Paris smashed the windows of a McDonald's restaurant last week, forcing police in riot gear to move in to protect staff and customers of the American fast-food outlet.
The attackers sprayed obscenities and "boycott" on the windows.
In Indonesia, Iraq war opponents pasted signs on McDonald's and other American food outlets, trying to force them shut by "sealing them" and urging Indonesians to avoid them.
In the Swiss city of Basel, 50 students staged a sit-down strike in front of a McDonald's to block customers' entry, waved peace signs and urged people to eat pretzels instead of hamburgers.
Anti-American sentiment has even reached provinces in Russia, where some rural eateries put up signs telling Americans they were unwelcome.
In the London suburb of Milton Keynes, the Greens party have called on consumers to boycott 330 American products ranging from Mars bars to Gap jeans and American films on DVD and video.
In Zurich, travel agents said some clients who usually take holidays in the United States are changing their destinations.

Ironic, really, considering that the reason Saddam was emboldened in his invasion of Kuwait was strong economic support by the US. A supression of an anti-Genocide bill by the US's Reagan administration, an administration who was unwilling to cease their economic ties to Iraq after the gassing of Iraqi Kurds that same year, gave Saddam the confidence to try an invasion. If the US was willing to turn a blind eye to the ethnic cleansing in Kurdistan, why wouldn't they allow him into Kuwait? Oil was the difference...
In fact, it was the US State department that allowed 'dual purpose' equipment to be sold to Iraqis in the early and mid 80s. 'Dual purpose' equipment was civilian equipment (it was illegal at the time for the US to sell military equipment to them) which could be used by the military, which included, among other things, helicopters, jeeps and atropene, the VX nerve gas antidote. The US wasn't opposed to selling atropene to the Iraqis, an agent which allows them to use VX gas in battle, despite knowing that Iraq was the only country in the region which had VX gas. It was these helicopters which were used to attack and gas the Kurds in 1988. The US government did nothing to support the Kurds, despite calling for an uprising against the Iraqi government.
The preceding US governments were responsible for much of the political and economic situation in Iraq, and indeed could have stopped the aggression against the Kurds, the invasion of Kuwait and the current war if they had put their fist down in the late 80s and passed that anti-genocide bill which would have sent the correct political message to Hussein, and prevented him from expanding like he did.
Of course, not buying an Elle magazine will really send a message to the international community that France has been the reason for the current mess.
James.

The only really effective way to attack this situation via boycotts is to stop using oil. If your power company offers a service where you can choose to use green energy (many in my country do this) USE IT. Stop driving your car when you can walk, ride a bike or take a bus. Next time you buy a car, get the best fuel efficiency you can. Buy battery run appliances, rechargeable batteries and a solar battery charger (my ex does this... it's amazing how many things you can run that way). Install a solar hot water system. Turn off your lights when you're not in the room. Switch off your TV and other appliances that go into "standby mode" at the wall (this will actually save you LOADS of money on your power bill).
For those who are in this kind of position - buy a hybrid car or even a battery powered car. They're expensive because of all the subsidies and crap that have been in place for years to stop new technologies from competing with oil revenues. This won't change until they get out into the marketplace and the price can drop.
If you're building a house - go GREEN. There are so many exciting ways you can design a house to minimise your reliance on fossil fuels. Just orienting it the right way in relation to the sun cuts down on heating bills, along with good insulation. Build in a grid-connected solar power system and you can even make money whenever you don't use up all the power you generate. And you'll be making the world a more peaceful place. Fancy that. |

Yawn... Who cares what Europe thinks.
Basically my Dad said it best... "Never buy anything other then goods made in the USA if you don't have to." Never buy a Foriegn car is the number one thing for Americans to remember. Then from there, expand your list of no-no's, from high-ticket items all the way down to basic items.
It's hard to do (especially items from China) but if you pay attention to what you are buying, and everyone does this, you will benefit your country ENORMOUSLY. Just like when you put the plastic and newspaper items in the "Recyle Bin", instead of in the regular garbage can, you make the same HUGE difference when you pay full attention to the items you buy and CHOOSE AMERICAN ONLY (when possible).
Don't forget, buy American, and God Bless The USA. :)

If American companies actually practiced this same philosphy, there wouldn't be nearly the PR problem internationally for the US. American firms like Nike etc. have for years been shunning American workers and the value-added spinoff economies in exchange for producing goods much more cheaply abroad, and then selling them back to US consumers at prices far less than could have been made available otherwise. Money that could be spun back into the US economy isn't happening at all, and instead the rich get richer and the developing countries get the shaft. Big business is what determines foreign policy these days.

Yes, in all the millions of people that protested the war over the past months, a few windows at a McDonalds get broken. It's basically the equivalent of invading a country...yeah.

Blocking city streets and preventing traffic from moving is basically the same thing, and many more of these "activists" are doing that also. The point comes down to this: Most of the protestors are are 20 year old high school dropouts, who don't have a job and fill their free time by protesting something that they know nothing about.
They say they are against the US invading Iraq and possibly killing a few civilians during the action, yet have NOTHING TO SAY about the millions of civilians Saddam himself has killed. Pretty strange don't you think? Why aren't these protestors protesting Saddam's record of human rights abuse instead of the USA's attempt to end that abuse? Can you answer that? |

I suppose blocking city streets could be considered violent, if you consider parades, marches, cycling races, foot races etc. to be similarly violent. The vast majority of the protests around the world were planned ahead, had police presence, were benign and indeed as violent as any other public gathering.
You're dead wrong about the demographic of the protesters. Many were jobless 20-year olds, also known as students. These worldwide protests were notably and famously diverse in their demographic:
From this article
People from nearly every demographic group imaginable -- teachers and students, grandparents and children, hippies and business people, anarchists and libertarians, suburban moms and urban 20-somethings -- held peaceful demonstrations from Portland, Ore., to Washington, D.C., and the size and mood of the crowds were reminiscent of Vietnam War protests more than 30 years ago.
Again, nobody is arguing that Saddam is a nice person. Making this issues black and white like this is what gets people killed. There are many many reasons not to go to war, and they've been outlined in this and other threads. The highlights:
War with Iraq will be worse for the region, and will end up killing more people than are being killed right now by Saddam. The US' human rights record in the Gulf region makes most believe (Kurds vs. Kuwaitis, for example) that the US is there to protect oil interests. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the regime change will find anything better than Saddam. There is already noise that Iran wants to place a Shi'ite leader in Iraq, from Iran. The US says no. Will they always be around to protect Iraq from invasion by Iran? Will the planted regime in Iraq survive? What will happen? Nobody knows. This may cause more death.
In the north, the Kurds are fighting Iraq, but Turkey dislikes the Kurds as much as Saddam does, and may invade when the dust settles to claim land and fight the Kurds for the northern territory. Again, a bad can of worms.
The UN thing is huge...a lot less people would be protesting if the UN were involved. Without the UN, the rest of the word is scared of the impending new world order, where the US will essentially impose its own interests and values on the global community. This is ECONOMICALLY based, not politically. These days, the economy dictates politics. The large US corporations will have more political clout overseas, and the US foreign policy more teeth. This scares the hell out of the rest of the world, who will have less say in international policy.
I may be missing something but that's the gist. A lot of people simply believe that violence of any sort is wrong. This attitude isn't always right (Nazis etc) but is a good argument here...diplomatic solutions are available, but they will take time. The threat of war plus sanctions plus ongoing inspections would have been the way to go. Saddam wouldn't have been able to do much with the situation that existed before the war actually started. There would have been much more time for diplomacy and the possibility of finding the 'smoking gun' that would have given some true evidence that he still had the capability of doing something, which would have then given the UN firm ground to do something on a multilateral basis.
That's why people protest the war.
Clearer?

Well, It's always interesting to see everyone's true colors when conflicts. That's why i like fights, people don't lie, they say truly what they think. And frankly i'm shocked. As if there's no separation between a government and the people. Just because we didn̢۪t get our way in the US do we really have to through a finical tamper tantrum? They have good reason for disagreeing along with 260 something other countries. The only reason the few countries that are with us are, is because of the money (via trade agreements etc...) we're sending them.
This conflict has caused the "rubber to meet the road" and with all the short sidedness and racism, I̢۪m feeling more like it's the 1960's rather than than present day.
This is a sad time to be an American, so much arrogance and so little humanity.
IF you̢۪re a Christian person, there is no way to be Christian and support the killing of others, bottom line. And if some say that this necessary, why wasn't it necessary for the inspectors to finish there inspections. If you buy into that What would Jesus philosophy, do you think Jesus would have done what our president has commanded? Would have Jesus, send a missive military into Iraq to slaughter whoever has a weapon? That's what France was saying.
May every soldier (both Iraqi and American) return to their families. Both soldigers are just being loyal to their leader.

Please send me all your foreign equipment to me -- including your cameras :-) Fuji is Japanese, duh! I'll be gladly to take them from your hands.
Free trade goes both ways. Once you limit one side, the other side would limit ours. It's not that simple. A lot of US high tech goods are export goods.

In the end consumers will buy whatever they think is the "best choice" out there.
In fact if you take off free trade for the US, half of detroit will shut down. Why? There are a ton of car parts made by American manufacturers that are built into non-American cars. Did we forget about that? humph.

In the end, if we want to win the Iraq war, we'd have to take our gloves off and hit them hard. The Iraqis will hide amongst civilians, and the only way to destroy their army is to kill a lot of civilians in the process.
However, i'd probably support a win for this war. If we gave up and leave, well, then it's an open door for terrorism because then everyone knows that if you kill Americans, they'll leave (i.e. see Somalia). If we stay, well, lots of civilians will be killed, it's unavoidable. I am not sure what the current administration is thinking about presenting a "politically correct war" and raving about these smart bombs because although war always serves a political end, the true nature of war is war itself: the only way to win is to reduce Baghdad to rubbish because they aren't going to give up until the civilian population gets hit hard, as they did in Germany to break the German's will to fight in WWII. War is still war, smart bombs won't change the will of men to fight, utter destruction will.
