Well, Holland didn't exactly cover itself with glory during the years of the Third Reich. No reason to expect them suddenly to rise to the occasion now.

I agree it was pretty sorry, although in the hinterlands there was a passable resistance. As to now, it wasn't much, but few European nations did as much to help us in Afghanistan. There is still a big divide between the rural small towns and the urban left, just like there is here.
