I'm rather glad that I have an aversion to sweets. It saves me from a good deal of silliness. If a government wishes to impose a trade embargo on a country engaged in hostilities, that is perfectly reasonable. If a pressure group wishes to boycott a company to change its purchasing policies, that is their right. But when said pressure group expects a company to participate in a boycott against itself, that is where we part brass rags.

Because we all know the best way to end a conflict is to boycott a nation's only cash crop, thereby crippling its economy. When people are poor and desperate they _never_ resort to violence. Only rich and prosperous societies do that...
Excellent point. One would think that would be the rational deduction; try explaining it to PC-embracing special interest groups.
