Has Belgium gone mad?

[Lefty Scaevola]

If they lock Sharon up in Belgium, it will alleviate food shortages in Israel, but put a serious strain on the Belium prison budget.

Why doesn't Israel simply issue an ultimatum, that Belgium withdraws the law or there exists a state of war between the two countries -- declared by Belgium.

This will help prevent a NATO response to an Israeli invasion and occupation.

My God, how would Chirac behave if the Israeli army were poised on his borders? He may be a little more respectful.

I wonder if you've ever read the NATO mandate.

More seriously, it indeed goes both ways. I wonder if there are people here who think that :
- Belgium is wrong to sue Sharon
- the US is right to bomb Iraq for Saddam removal (official pretext some people here believe)

Both are exactly the same thing : a country which wants to extend its values to other sovereign countries, and uses law or force to do so. The opposite would be not to judge how internal affairs are done by the neighbours.
However, the Belgian trial, like the American war, is completely hypocite and has political reasons. Belgium doesn't seem to be too eager to sue Putin despite the terrible crimes perpetrated in Chechnya, and the US doesn't seem too eager to punish a Mugabe-like despot.

Both cases are pretty similar IMHO, excet that the US will reach their objective, unlike Belgium, because they have bigger guns.

The obvious problem with Belgium doing this is that anytime they arrest a soldier or politician of another country without that country's consent is that they are committing acts of war. Belgium picks on mighty Rawanda now because Rawanda cannot fight back or may actually agree with Belgium's actions. But, if they arrest Putin, they may cause a war between Russian and Belgium.

Now, what is NATO's role in this? I would hope none, because Belgium is the nation provoking the war. They really have no business being the judge and jury over other nations.

So, when Israel invades, I hope NATO stands aside. If the French and Germans support Belgium, I hope we support Israel. Those f*cking French and Germans need to understand why it is important to not stab the United States in the back.

I would hope they would be honest and loyal Belguim
citizens, worthy of the respect and trust of their fellow
citizens regardless of their religion.

Belgium just has higher moral values than you can understand, if you think you can bribe them.

After's Belgium's veto of support for Turkey from Iraq, it deserves no further NATO support.

Read the mandate, sweetheart.

Oh you will, they control your foreign policy.

No, they need to understand what kind of country they
were allied with. Disagreeing with America becomes "stab in the back". Now they know

What Ally except UK and Israel HASN'T been insulted and threatened by the USA. In less than a year the
USA has gone from Leader of the west to international
pariah.

The Mask is torn.

I agree, Panag. Belgium would not be so arrogant if it did not have NATO behind them.
