    Despite the problems the

    government of the USA and a lot of people in that country had with France (french fries were renamed to freedom

    fries), American import of french wines sharply increased in the period of the so-called boycott.

    It\'s like

    prohibition. It only made Americans want to drink alcohol more. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

    Hence why they repealed it and why they repealed the unofficial \'boycott\'.
