The "boycott" strategy ?

[Woodrow]

Has a boxcot ever worked to change the behaviors of certain countries or corporations.What country are we planning on boycoting.

To see how effective a boycott can be look at Cuba. Since the early 1960s the USA has boycotted all Cuban made products. In fact to the point it is illegal to own Cuban made products in the USA.

You can see how effective that has been in getting tiny Cuba to give up communism and become a democracy.

BTW: I think the boycott was finally lifted recently.

Regarding "halal" meats. Is there any central regulating body that can stop people from putting a "halal meat" label on whatever they want? My local gyro restaurant advertises "halal meat" but how can I know if it actually is halal?

We have it in Malaysia.

That was an embargo (an order by one country's government), not a boycott (a protest by the people of many countries).

Yes, most recently they played a role in raising awareness and ending apartheid in South Africa.

Cuba has a democracy? I mean more than the sham democracy they have always had under Fidel? I don't think the US embargo accomplished anything positive but I'm no historian of Cuba.
