Because of this particular quote of him i can imagine you think Hans van Baalen is some kind of crazy left member of parliament, but he is actually one of the most pro atlantic members there is in the Netherlands. The Liberal party in Holland is something different then “liberals” in the US.
He has also been on the US site on most important issues like the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and he want the Dutch troops in Afghanistan to stay.

You are correct that my evaluation of Hans van Baalen is based entirely on that particular quote and I am glad to be corrected and learn that he is pro Atlantic and supports the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. I apologize to him for lumping him in with the others who are all those nasty things I said.

I still don't understand why the little wimps who want to surrender think we would want to be advised and guided by THEM. The few Dutch people I know (here in the states) are neither wimps nor fools and I'm sure there are plenty of Dutch citizens who are as unhappy with the horrible "representation" they have in their government as I often am with mine.
