french wine boycott

[Thomas]

Re, bovine blood--I think the answer lies somewhere between corruption and poverty; only those two reasons are cause for someone to use bovine blood in winemaking. So, stick with reputable wine names and you might be ok.

I know I am nuts for getting into a political argument online but a comment to tandkvd's post:

I agree, we should go after Osama bin Laden, should have done it a long time ago, instead of supporting him when he fought the Russians; we should also go after the Saudi Arabian money and people who prop up the terrorists.

Last I heard bin Laden and his group were scattered throughout Afghanistan and Pakistan. So why are we going to Iraq instead?

In fact, there was a good analysis of why Iraq, in the Feb 16 Sunday edition of the NY Times. Check it out.
