You want me to give you list of examples on how quickly "Western" powers, such as Canada, Germany, France, who opposed the US position on Iraq quickly gave the US a bone to chew on, to appease US fury at their opposition? These countries fear the US, its political, military and economical might, and quickly cowered to the US in many ways after receiving not too veiled threats.
Altough the US would not attack these countries in a military fashion, France, Canada and Germany were attacked in other ways and gave in, to some extent.
