I doubted whether the Dutch could really come to grips with the threat

Disagree. One man, VanGogh, was murdered and the Dutch are talking about stripping terrorists of citizenship and deporting them. What have we done along these lines after 3,000 of us were killed?

Hear, hear.

On PBS a few days ago actual Dutch congressmen (woman, actually) called for their... whatever the PC word for 'disappearance' is.

The Dutch are talking. The Americans acted!

We arrested hundreds of suspected terrorists and sent the to Guantanamo.

We deported hundreds of suspected terrorists and visa violators to their countries of origin.

We froze the financial assets of terrorist groups all over the world.

We convinced the Pakistani government to get off the fence and join us in the War of Terror.

We liberated Afghanistan and destroyed the Taliban.

We have aided the Philippines in their fight against Abu Sayef. (sp?)

We convinced Libya to disband it's nuclear weapons program thorugh diplomatic channels - backed up by the threat of force.

We liberated Iraq, captured Sadaam Hussein, and killed his scumbag sons.

We have destroyed two thirds of Al Quaeda.

And that's just for starters! We have also had numerous victories in the War on Terror that you and I have never heard about in the MSM or the new media.

The Dutch have set some schools on fire and have committed a few other random acts of violence. Their government has *talked* about deporting some radicals and renoucing the dual citizenship of some others. They have also taken some pretty stupid steps toward appeasing their Muslim minority, like forcing the destruction of the mural that simply said, "Thou shalt not kill."

I'm not saying that the Dutch definately won't take this threat seriously, I'm just saying that I'm sceptical. They need to do a LOT more than they're doing right now to convince me that their even close to taking this as seriously as we have.

You mean other than throwing several in jail, taking over the country from which they were operating, killing 75% of the leadership, and taking over another country from which the terrorists were receiving training bases and financial support, and generally putting the world on notice we were not going to take any more of this PC crap?

-- well, other than those trifeling matters, we haven't done anything at all... /sarcasm

The Dutch were talking about stripping those muslims who hadn't assimilated of their citizenship, before van gogh was murdered. In fact, I believe the law was already passed.
