Boycott Dublin?

In a silly move, Dublin City Council has voted to fly white flags as a "protest" during President Bush's visit to Ireland in June. {I know there are many people in the US who will see some symbolism in the "white flag" being flown in an EU capital.}

It's a silly move because it's grandstanding and pointless. But, it's annoying nonetheless. Therefore, I recommend that Americans counter with their own silly, ineffectual protest. Americans coming to Ireland should boycott Dublin. Spend your dollars in Meath, Clare, wherever.
