#1 Fred---does complying with international commitments over the shipment of US military supplies through Antwerp mean that they are letting them through? Rotterdam would get alot of business and Antwerp could stand to lose alot if the Belgians screw us. "Please don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I am angry." Paraphrasing the classic movie line.

#5 "Think of The ChildrenÂ®..."

You wouldn't want to know what Belgians think of and about children. That country was the scene of a shocking, sickening, paediphilia/child murder scandal that many believe reaches into some pretty high levels of government.
