The EU "Threatens" Sudan with Sanctions
Sudan's government has been killing people in the Darfur region for years now, and up to 200,000 have been murdered. When George Bush went to the UN to do something, he was stymied by the entire world who react with one collective yawn.

They have decided not to impose sanctions, or to do something substantial, but they have threatened sanctions if something doesn't happen.
They may also get really mad.
