There is a problem in Europe these days. The continent suffered two big wars in the last century – so many different countries, with different cultures, with different interests always causes tensions to arrise. We are used to Germany starting and causing our wars, but… today it seems that a new, devastating war, could be caused by… Belgium.
Belgium’s Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt is angry that the Dutch city of Maastricht has decided to move its ‘coffeeshops’ to the border with Belgium. He sent Dutch PM Jan Peter Balkenende an angry letter, telling him that what Maastricht wants to do is in breach with European law and that he wants Balkenende to prevent this from happening. Or else.
Good Lord, I hope that Balkenende will understand that he’s playing with french fries fire.
Lets also hope the patattekes don’t decide that the only way to resolve this issue is by the use of force.
