Holland…
A nation much acclaimed for its free society, for its kind and tolerant people., for its flowers and windmills…Strangely, many Dutch long for Holland nowadays. In their eyes, their beloved country vanished in front of them….and nobody acted against it…Now it seems a little too late to set back the clock to, say, somewhere in the mid-fifties of the past century…A friend of mine recently harvested shocked reactions by stating that Holland deserves the right-wing newcomer Geert Wilders with his tunnelvision on the islam….I think my friend was right. Geert Wilders and his political party wil show us, one way or the other, what true freedom is, even if this means we have to go back in time and give up some of our acquired freedoms.
