You got me; I don't know what that boycott is unless it is the one of the
Gap stores; that sure wasn't initiated by the US. Please tell me what the
one you have in mind is of. Thanks.
A boycott hurts both the 'boycotee' and the 'boycoter'.
Trade is a two-way street.
The US is currently boycotting: Iraq, Libya, Cuba,
N Korea - are there any others? ( please see:
"Globalisation" and "Free Trade")
For every 'dollar' lost in trade and services for the
people of these countries means a 'dollar' lost in
trade and services for the people of the US.
See the deaths, disease, unemployment and
hardship in Iraq for example caused by the boycott.
The same must be reflected in the US - it is a
question of investigating and highlighting the results
of the boycott - in the US.
Bill.
