The US says it will "punish" France and Germany for their opposition to an attack on Iraq by blocking their imports into the US.

So no one is allowed to have a different opinion from the US now? And this is a war to protect democracy?

Was the same threat made weeks ago, to our government?

Is this why we are suffering the humiliation of seeing the Prime Minister running around like a playground weakling, twittering at the heels of the playground bully?

And do we have a new world order or a new warlord?
