The French will be punished because they went above and beyond "not agreeing" with the stated interests of the USA regarding Iraq.
They have rather pointedly been conducting an anti-USA stance via diplomatic,economic and propoganda means, and actively supporting anti-USA terrorist regimes methods, for well over a decade.
The righteous grassroots backlash they are currently whimpering about is the only the tip of the iceburg.
They have not yet really started to pay the price for their actions.
But I trust Dr. Rice and President Bush to follow through on her promise to punish France.

Punish France? I would love to see how we do it? What nonsense!
