My contention is if you don't stand for something, your "liberal society" can quickly become something else. Here's an article providing the decay and perversion of Dutch society.



Dutch Say Al Qaeda Recruitment Succeeding

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 9 -- Islamic militants linked to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network are succeeding in a drive to recruit young men in mosques, cafes and prisons for a "holy war" against the United States, the Dutch secret service said today.

The report was issued to the Dutch parliament as concerns grew over Islamic militancy in the Netherlands after two men were accused at a trial in Rotterdam of plotting to attack the U.S. Embassy in Paris.

"The recruitment of these youths shows a violent radical Islamic current is stealthily taking root in Dutch society," the secret service said in its report.

The recruiters were legal and illegal immigrants, almost all of whom had fought in Bosnia or in Afghanistan, said Vincent van Steen, a secret service spokesman. Many were trained in al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan.

Several dozen youths were being trained to fight for al Qaeda, the report said.

The Dutch agency said the successful recruitment here and in other Western countries indicated the threat of "Islamic terrorism" toward Western countries was growing.

    Might be in exchange for not attacking Isreal. But why aren't you upset about the rich arab families that take the wealth of the region? why?

    I never said I wasnt. Most of those regimes are part of what I am talking about concerning the duplicity of Bush's foreign policy and his selective targetting of a few regimes over the rest (which America supports) for condemnation.

    This is just one reason why attacking Iraq is a hypocritical move that Bush doesnt want people to ask too many questions about lest the country get wise to his true underlying interests.
