They want Americans back so they can have someone to thumb their noses at.

They would never dare do that to their Islamic neighbors and visitors, that would be "intolerant."

Have you seen the new Woody Allen commerical, paid for by the French government; encouraging tourism in France by Americans? *L* That's just one more reason I will never set foot in that country.

This isn't a snit. The fact is that the French, German, and Belgian leadership (with support of overwhelming majorities of their respective peoples) sided with tyranny against freedom, sided with terror against peace. We have seen this before out of Europe and we know where it leads.

It doesn't pay to bite the hand that feeds you.

It's no wonder they chose Wood Allen to be their perverted poster boy for tourism. He split with his wife and then married their adopted daughter. The asian daighter is about half his age. Is that sick or what?

This is the article I have been waiting to read. Tourism is big bucks for the frogs and the American boycott will get our message across better than anything else. May the loss be in the billions (dollars not francs).

It doesn't pay to bite the hand that feeds you. It doesn't pay to bite the hand that feeds you, because the hand that feeds you will turn around and bite the hand that fed it, because it does pay?

Keith Richards said it best: "Paris would be great except for the Parisians" He said he couldn't go out for a day without being insulted by a Parisian at least once.

Do you mean to tell me that those commercials, featuring Woody Allen talking about French-kissing his former live-in lover's adopted daughter, now his wife, are not doing the trick?

Go figure.

Let them live off the tourist money from moslems... opps, there isn't any.

If the French don't wake up soon, it will be the muslims running that country. Then there won't be any tourist money.

BTW, our tourist dollars went to the Hill Country of Southern Indiana. Wonderful part of OUR country.
