#2 "... publicity campaigns urging US consumers to boycott French products."

Hmmm. Haven't seen any. Totally grass-roots actions, as far as I can tell. Which means the French have pissed off the "american street" and are REALLY screwed...

#3 In an effort to counter this economic downturn, French unions went on strike to promote a 20 hour work week with 52 paid holidays a year. Victory in the Ivory Coast Day is expected to be a popular addition.

#4 How dare those French not bend to the will of the "American street"? You'd think they were acting in their own self-interests! And why do they even evaluate their economy on a unilateral basis?

#5 Heh. the article says that, despite the 2002 trend, that growth will STILL be about 1.2%.

Must be some damn good weed they're smoking over there.
