Actually, Heirophant, the right will say....

"How is this different than France and Germany threatening to deny U.N. membership to the 10 "New School" applicant countries that chose NOT to side with them in condemning the U.S. plans for war?"

The French ambassodor to the U.N. plainly stated that these applicant countries were "jeapordizing" their prospective membership in the U.N. because they refused to fall in line. He went on to say that, if these countries were going to engage in a pattern of disagreeing with the "Old School" countries, then the U.N. needed to reconsider whether or not they should be allowed to join.

So I guess you were right after all. Apparantly, all IS fair in love and war.
