Enough of this Dutch-trashing.  Remember that during the Nazi
occupation many Dutch risked their lives to help Jews escape or
hide.  During the '73 oil embargo, the Dutch, with no oil resources
of their own, put up with a total cut-off of crude rather than
renounce their close ties with Israel.  (In the US, with substantial
oil reserves, there was all of a sudden a lot of "We want oil--not
Jews" graffiti.)  Are these signs of moral weakness?  How dare you
folks condemn the moral fiber of the Dutch!
