The Belgians will never go after real butchers, like Castro and his minions or Saddam and his lackies. Or investigate its own wretched history of African colonialism.

By his own admission, Castro has executed tens of thousands of people for political "crimes."
During the 1970s, Castro sent his troops to Africa to support Marxist guerrilla movements. Eyewitness accounts relate the mass killings of tribes considered potential sympathizers with the enemies of the Marxist guerrillas.
None of those crimes have ever been investigated by the UN or Belgium.
But again, do anyone here really think that the North Korean Butcher Extraordinaire is going to be indicted in Belgium soon?

The Belgians have an unmatched history of attacking their protectors and sucking up to their enemies. In the opening days of BOTH WW1 and WW2, these dimbulbs concluded that Britain and France were the biggest threats to their sacred neutrality, and barred the Allies from forward-basing troops. Of course, both times, the shrewd Belgians ended up playing doormat for the Germans. What hope is there for a people who just refuse to learn?

The Belgians would rather involve themselves in judicial folderol like this than prosecute the many child molesters and kiddie-porn monsters preying on its own children. Why do we headquarter NATO there anyway? What do the Belgians provide to NATO anyway? They reap the economic profits of the headquarters and all of its staff and expenditures but contribute nothing of consequence. The current situation with Iraq and the Belgian position on it exposes one more European duffer, slacker and leech.
