Let them try it and we will block ALL EU exports to the US.
Then their sheeple will see who needs who.
Bomb France...
Hey Chirac, Pack sand, sit on it and rotate.
Citroen briefly had a Maseratti connection back in the 1970s and I remember seeing one flying around Iowa City. Very strange car and also very fast.
"Sign this treaty which will **** your economy, or else we will **** your economy with a tax."
Stick it, Chirac.
I know the last one, it means "Lemon", Oui?
Renault.Renault, Hmm, dredging ancient memories of French Class..
"Maitre RENAULT ..."----Ahhh, I think it means "Fox".
Well, whatever they are I do not think I bought any.
IIRC, the Kyoto thing was rejected by something like 95 to 5 in the senate during B.J.'s last term.
They don't count because they didn't reject it -- they didn't have to, it didn't hamstring them.
'Fox' is 'Renaud'. Close, but no cigar.
>>>>I guess China and India don't count?
China and India don't get regulated by Kyoto.
That was my point. Most of the world's population is not confined to this.
Yeah I was being snide, to illustrate the irrelevence of French Products. Who needs a boycott? No one buys them anyway. When is the last time anyone saw a Citroen here? :-)
Maybe BIC lighters...?
My worry is, if we get a Dim President, he (or the anointed Clinton) will give in and force KYOTO down our throats. Then the liberal stuffed courts will side with the President and our economy will be ruined.
Rush has always been right. The green movement is the new face of Socialism.
Yeah, they can't even sell much of their wine here....
So do the Democrats.
Seems to me that all those big gas-guzzlers imported from Europe would be the ideal place to start to reduce US emissions -- Mercedes, Beemers, Jags, not to mention all those Italian sports cars.
We can play this game all day.
And will win every time.
I think we need to impose a tax on France for all those burning cars -- those emissions are just terrible.
The (Moslem) gov't of the Maldives was considering a lawsuit against the US and other industrialized countries, now this:

In fairness to them, politics aside, I think a good reason is that so many other places have learned to make as good or better.
Decades ago, Monty Python did a skit about "Australian Table Wines". It may have been funny then, but try a few. Places never really known for winemaking seem to be giving them a run for their money, and of course, there are still the glorious Reislings, etc., so people have more choices.
Then, perhaps in the hindbrain, there is a murmer of "Why buy from someone who hates my guts- Lets see what this stuff is like..."
I propose that the U.S. and Australia impose a Dhimmi Surrender Monkey tax on continental European exports.
