Europe

NETHERLANDS: "Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands has launched a blistering attack on Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery on the eve of the 60th commemoration of the costly failure of the Battle of Arnhem in 1944." Speaking on television, Bernhard said the British ahd tried to blame the commander of the Polish forces who took part in the operation.

One little item at the end of the article was worth noting. "Bernhard was a member of the Nazi SS before he married the future Dutch Queen Juliana in 1937." who "has been plagued by rumours that he tipped off the Germans about Market Garden." He has a colorful history. That probably explains the Dutch obsession with euthanansia, abortion ships, and Internationalism.

OTHER NEWS FROM THE HAGUE: "The European Parliament rejected earlier this week a resolution condemning the bloody end to the Beslan tragedy and at the same time demanding attention to Russia's actions in Chechnya. The large parties had been concerned that the resolution could have given the impression that the killing of children could be justified." Link (Third item down.)
