01 Dec 2003 French Diplomats on Strike

Musings from Ed Haislmaier:

I am hard pressed to think of a strike I’d be more likely to support than this one. The main question is: How to support it?

If we send the strikers care packages or raise money for a strike fund, will that help keep them off the job?

Should the President ask Congress to approve an emergency aid package for French diplomats?

Think about how much the U.S. could accomplish abroad if we can keep French diplomats striking for weeks, months, or (dare we dream) even years…!
