France has every right to disagree with America. But France has moved from simple dissent to active hostility toward America.

French President Chirac warned East European nations that if they side with America,
France will oppose their membership in the European Union.

It appears that France secretly helped to arm Iraq.

Just as France is exercising its right to disagree, Americans can exercise their right to boycott --
and avoid helping companies and countries that do not stand with America.
