US to punish France

Colin Powell has said that the US will be reviewing all aspects of its relations with France, and that there will be "consequences" for the French stand on Iraq. At the same time, the Department of Defence is reviewing the contract of an American firm involved in the reconstruction of the Pentagon - because their paint is made in Germany.

But then again, did we really need any further evidence that the current US administration are a bunch of petty bullies who will accept nothing less than total subserviance from the rest of the world?
