HEY, MAYBE ALTERMAN’S ONTO SOMETHING with his suggestion of Holland as a role model:

The Dutch cabinet has backed a possible United States attack on Iraq, even without a mandate from the UN Security Council. Parliament convened in emergency session on Thursday night to discuss the matter.

Gotta love those Dutch.

UPDATE: Hmm. This story isn’t on that site anymore, and I can’t find it elsewhere. Given the lame nature of the Radio Netherlands site, which just features a few brief “news highlight” items, that may not mean anything, but it’s odd.
