President Bush dispatched US military hardware to the heart of the Caucasus today and warned Russia that it could be frozen out of international bodies as punishment for its aggression in Georgia.

Can someone please tell me how it is that the US has not been frozen out of international bodies as a punishment for its aggression in Iraq? Oh, yeah, I forgot: 'international bodies' that matter are supposed to be US clubs for favoured nations, and everyone else can go to hell. If Russia is excluded I call on all European nations to move to exclude the US on similar grounds. Fair's fair, and we need to develop an even handed European foreign policy that threats the Great Powers according to their actions, not their status as Best/Worst Friends/Enemies Forever based on habits of the cold war era.
