U.S. Boycott Being Felt, French Say

French exports to the US, totaling almost $30 billion in 2002, may be off quite sharply this year, if the last two months are any indication. A major French industry group says that American imports of French wine are down dramatically, as 'Francophobia' has afflicted Americans unhappy with the France's failure to support the US-led war in Iraq. The boycott of wine and other French products in the US is causing headaches for companies on both sides of the Atlantic, some of whom argue that the line between politics and business shouldn't be so blurry. – YaleGlobal
