The Dutch government has ordered an inquiry into the terrorist threat aimed explicitly at the Netherlands which has been circulating on the internet since Sunday. The website of a group calling itself the Islamic Tawhid says the Netherlands will be targeted if Dutch troops are not withdrawn from Iraq.
The Dutch secret service, the AIVD, says there is no reason to revise its risk assessment. It is generally accepted that countries with troops in Iraq, such as the Netherlands, face greater risks. Last month the Dutch Interior Ministry introduced a number of additional security measures for potential terrorist targets.

"Jan Peter Balkenende, the Dutch prime minister....."free Europe is threatened not by Americanization, but by Islamicization."
I guess that didn't win any points with the terrorists, either.
Be Careful.
Batten down the hatches and safeguard the dikes.
Some day the world is going to wake up and realize that we are engaged in a global war, that no one is safe from these Islamo terrorists -- I just hope it won't be too late.
