Well, shit, Michiel, then let's just close our borders - including those inside
the EU - and let the rest of the world go to hell it's own way. Who cares if a
few hundred thousand blacks get massacred - or muslims, for that matter? Let
them take care of themselves. As for the other EU "partners" - to hell with
them. Let them do their own thing, and leave us to ourselves. But then, let
them not hold out their hands when they are in bad shape, getting worse. We
don't have anything to give away either.

But then don't whine about "human rights" and "genocide", as if you'd done
anything to further the one and prevent the other. That would be pure
hypocrisy.

Again, shit! Would you prefer mass murder and starvation, plus a few nice
epidemics, to reduce the population to a more "manageable" level? Better try
and fail than never try at all.

You confuse "excuse" with "reason". The Dutch were apparently also confused on
this point in places like Srebrenica. That was mass murder.

How many of the Dutch force there - drinking Slivovic with Mladic - are now in
prison? Is "none" a good guess?

Cheers, Bob
