#1 ''...far-reaching consequences for US-Dutch relations''.

Yep. The 101st Airborne can reach pretty far...

#2 Yes, I'm sure judges realized that continued existence is preferrable to being turned into floating bits of ash.

#3 And I thought the dutch didn't have a sense of humor. Maybe it's casual use of soft/hard drugs finally taking their toll?

#4 Actually they want to hear some whinge and whine from the full blown moonbat Tranzis that cooked this up.

#5 That a court entertains and dignifies this type of infantile behavior by issuing a ''judgment'' addressing the ''demand'' is pretty pathetic.

#6 I wonder how much of the 31% against his visit are actually of Dutch heritage. Hmmm....

#7 I don't know about Dutch, but I'd bet they're all European. They are the ones who make these idiotic gestures and think going to court is the way to solve everything.

Those who arrived from the south and east would more likely to engage in direct action. See Vincent Van Gogh.

#8 "...far-reaching consequences for US-Dutch relations"

I wonder what JDAMs would do to that dyke system.

#10 We could play Zep's ''When The Levee Breaks'' while the Zyder Zee is rolling into den Haag...

#11 A court in The Hague turned down a demand by a dozen plaintiffs who wanted to force the Dutch government to arrest US President George W Bush when he visits the Netherlands on Saturday

Well, that is certainly a relief. For the Dutch, I mean.

#12 Ya' wanna try arresting WHO?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Thanks for the laugh, Holland. That was a good one.

By the way, assholes, if you do manage to find a judge stupid enough to OK it, and a cop stupid enough to try it, I've got the popcorn concession. :-D

#13 Gee, if they were really serious, they could always do a citizens' arrest....

/sarcasm off

#14 I don't think the Zuyder Zee exists anymore, it would have to be regular seawater from the North Sea coming through the broken dykes. We wouldn't do that though, we'd just send in a couple of armed Secret Service guys to pick him up -- using Black Helicopters, of course. I mean, what would the Dutch do about it, blow their bicycle horns in protest?
