Default Boycott Brand America Hate instead of help??

These boycott people are typically nationalist xenophobes pushing
their chauvinist agenda (and telling everyone else what to buy. The
irony is that boycotts generally hurt local people. The U.S. is also
the main engine of the world economy--especially with Japan and
Germany doing so poorly--that weakening the global economy is likely
to put the guy down the street out of business. If you really cared
about Iraq and not just hating the US, why not donate some money to
the International Red Cross (www.icrc.org) or UNICEF (www.unicef.org).
