indeed, next time i should check at least the newspaper before writing such
things (on the other hand he is as much a war-minister as Scharping in his
function of foreign affairs) but seeing this hypocrite (he's the big
example nowadays for the flemish greens, so they endorsed the NATO actions
too, because they ambition some governmental jobs after next elections in
june), makes me even more sick. The ease people throw away all their
principles to be part of the power elite. And the hypocritical defense they
build up : "now that we are in such a position we understand why
governments do such and such. You as ordinary people have no idea about
this. Just accept what we will tell you and next time vote again for us").

Germany, so close and even then so far away...
