Take that, Frenchies! by Lufteufel 02/13/2003, 3:16am PST
Remeber what I said about the deflationary danger of a strong dollar, and how the only alternative to a weaker dollar would be blatant protectionism? Consider this bit from a BBC article about the growing rift between the NATO states:

Bitterness towards the three countries has intensified in America with senior members of Congress calling for economic sanctions and cuts in the number of US troops stationed in Europe.

One has drafted a demand that all American companies boycott the Paris Air Show, the most important air industry event in the world, while another has mooted extra regulations on bottled water and wine from France.


How convenient for them.
