Dutch headlines

Last week I was reading the Economist in the plane and after the Financial Times. As most people do, I too feel my world is the centre of the universe. This tiny country that I live in is one of the most important countries in the world with a well known economy, highly intelligent people etc.......NOT.

Both publications reported on the Dutch economy as secondary, inferior and not very important. This got me thinking, if I was on exchange I would report on local realities. Why not do the same now?? So what is happening in this tiny country?

- Minister Denies Dutch Abuse Of Iraqi Prisoners
- Elections coming up next wednesday: polls favour party of current prime-minister
- Cabinet decides to ban burqua
- Soccer match cancelled after angry supporters enter the field
- Air France- KLM to launch Transavia concept in France

Not really world-rocking news, is it?? As so many countries in Europe we are concerned with elections, Iraq, soccer and trying to expand our national heritage.
