Wow... I could see this if the company were placed to influene the French government, or if the staff were not international in nature and if the effort was not also international, but I bet you could be more effective reading your garment labels and the labels in the supermarket and not buying "Made in France". Mind you, I am not endorsing your position nor am I endorsing that of France. I just wanted to point out that in these days of global economy there are ways one people can influence another. Of course becoming too influential has its hazards as well. The global economy is tied tightly and the fall of one major player (anything bigger than Iraq or Iceland) will drag everyone down.
