In Holland we learn to speak fluently: French, English, German, Dutch (doh). If you want, you can take Spanish as well.
A recent change in our education system made it so that you can CHOOSE if you want to learn French and/or German, you still need to be able to READ it fluently.

Nator it really seems that as a whole Holland may be the non English speaking country most fluent in English. I haven't asked any Dutch people this so is English normally taught to everyone in primary school classrooms?
Or maybe it just seems this way to me is because all the dutch people I have met were either travellers or working in some sort of tourist industry.

It scares me that a corrupt country can so easily force it's way into war for reasons it invented on it's own. It seems there is NOTHING to hold the US back in doing anything. My own goverment (holland) was to much of a little bitch to dare and speak against the war, but other's did.
Now they are being boycotted. Politics suck.

Good post, but it illustrates what the administration knew all along. Once there is a regime change, it really doesn't matter what caused it. The change will be permanent.

It is funny because they sound like idiots and are. They went from 'Iraq is developing WMD' to 'We are sure they have them..(insert info here)' to 'No positive evidence but we will find it in this campaign' to 'We haven't found it because they moved it' yada yada yada. Just keeps going on all the hot air their putting out. Sad to think they men and women died for this so called 'evidence' that really didn't comeforth during the fighting at all other than 3,000 suits and suspected places and vechicles which didn't have any real evidence other than it was just there. Now I'm not saying they don't but based on the information we got and what they have, they didn't find dick.
I hate the way our government seems give us the run around, yet when they do something wrong its not their fault. I wouldn't be surprized if nations start to accuse us of misinformation and be tried as war criminals, but being one of the 'Super powers' I don't really think that will ever come to.
Worse thing is we are hinting that Iran is in cawhoots(sp?) with Iraq. Iran won't stand for that and I'm sure most of the other countries in the general area won't either. I could give a flying fuck about Iran personally. I still say Korea was more of a threat than Iraq but whatever I guess.

I can see why that would make you laugh, them looking so asshole and all Daegus. But in my opinion it is no laughing matter. If these men and women have decieved the American people and the world and unjustly made war with Iraq, and it certainly appears that they have, then jesus they need to be treated as war criminals. It makes me sick as an american citizen and as a free thinker to know that my country's government has done and is doing this. While I do appriceate that US soldiers may actually feel like they are doing the right thing and laying their lives on the line for me, I feel that they are grossly misled almost to the point of brainwashing.
The other day in the probation office (I know I know) there was this woman who came in and took a breathylzer for alcohol and she was talking about her brother that was in Kuwait. How he was coming home to San Deigo to marry some girl and his plans blah blah blah. But when she ended with something like "But it all depends if we go back to war or attack Korea, you know that would be a delay." Maybe that doesn't sound so strange, but how normally she talked about it, like it seemed she saw war as a job transfer, it really bothered me. I guess that's the way it is.
