Do you think we should boycott the goods from the countries that attacked our embasys?

No because a few stupid citizens does not define a country as a whole, and boycotting goods that are needed is just an inconvenience.

Do they even produce goods?  

Plus, the thing about boycotts most people tend to forget.  They only work as long as they're convenient.  Remember a few years ago some idiot got on the PA system in a Wal-Mart and made a bunch of racial slurs over the entire stores sound system.  Even though Wal-Mart wasn't the ones who did it, a bunch of black people who were offended said they'd never shop there again.  Yeah, that lasted a whole two weeks, because that was the nearest store and the most waaaaaaaait for it............waaaaaaaaait for it.......and go...most convenient location to shop.

I seriously doubt they produce enough of anything to boycott.

Boycots can work two ways.  We do not have to export good to them either.

I think it's time for all of us to start a new country somewhere else. This one just does not seem to be working.
