True. Although I do care about it.

No kidding, they're only one step away from being classified as a cult or a sect... The images of those people rioting at the Binnenhof is by far the most horrible and frightening thing I've seen since the WTC attack... :( </font>[/QUOTE]i wouldn't worry about them too much, those are hooligans from ado den haag, people with no political interrest whatsoever. they are just a group of sharks, when there's blood in the water......

i've heard they will prob move it to another date

I hope yu're right, Johnny :(
I hear lots of people crying about security right now... yeah right, that's easy to say with hindsight :rolleyes:
How immature to feel the urge to point the blame, to accuse others of an event which could not have been prevented.

Quite so. Even if Pim accepted the security offered, a determined gunman would still haev found some way to get to him

I have to admit I didn't have the feeling of unsafety when Fortuyn was shot. I did however have that feelings when those morons started to riot... :(

What's beyond me is that someone like Saddam Hussein (possibly one of the most dubious/questionable men alive) can be allowed to roam the streets in complete safety, yet Pim Fortuyn (who is not in the same league) gets a bullet through the head for simply standing by his beliefs and daring to speak up about them.

Different circumstances, Arledrian. If Saddam just walked around on the streets he would have been shot ages ago. And I don't think Saddam ever goes out without a large group of watch dogs and other bodyguards...

Well yes, it was more a figure of speech. But I've just wondered how he's managed to get away with it for so long.

The situation is totally different in Holland. With proportional representation allowing many parties to win seats the 15% that Fortuyn's party would have likely held the balance of power in the Dutch Parliament. He would have been part of the Government.
