Hya,
I guess with Zazie off the list I'll have to defend the orange flag. Or
whatever.
The whole Srebrenica situation was of course one big mess of
UN/Nato/Dutch miscommunication and naivety in the face of the real
tough war criminals from Serbia. The resignation of cabinet & prime
minister may just be the least naive part of it all because it happened
6 weeks before the scheduled general election and the coalition was
way down in the polls. And people now applaud the cabinet's
bravery in taking the blame or something. Nothing like a good
conspiracy theory.
But you people are right: we Dutch are boring. Even more boring
than Canadians, Belgians and Swiss, who at least have more than
one language.
I know one should never ask what Scottie's subject headers mean
(they're often the best part of his mails, just like Salinger's story
titles). But what *is* LMF?
Bye,
JJF
