You are right, why did I think we were talking about Belgium? It might be that I have not had enough caffeine.

yes Rembrandt definately was

and Fortuyn as greatest dutchman is certainly a knee jerk reaction, but not just against recent islamofascist actions, but also against the socialist state which taxes us to death and then you see politicians waste it on their pet projects, and there's a severe bias against anything conservative and a severe bias towards anything socialist, but I feel my friends, the tide is starting to turn against it. The governmental departments are filled with 60's peace generation hippies, and we're paying the price for it now.

personally, for greatest dutchman I would have picked either Johan de Witt or Johan van Oldenbarneveld, or if it had to be someone still living, our national football (ie soccer) ambassador Johan Cruyff.
