I really do not want to waste too much time on the anti-war demonstrations but yesterday's rally in Amsterdam saw the return of Gretta Duisenberg. I wondered what had happened to her and thought that the avalanche of negative publicity had made her retreat from her radical and hateful posturing, but no, she's back. This time she had toned down her anti-semite rants and focused instead on "Bush's shameful behaviour" and stated that there could have been other ways in which to deal with Saddam. Yes, sure. The rally was followed by throwing paint-bombs and stones at the Spanish consulate in Amsterdam. Well, for a change they did not attack the American consulate, someone had probably noticed that Spanish PM Aznar was standing next to Bush and Blair last Sunday. At the same time a rally in The Hague got really out of hand with the burning of an Israeli flag and groups chanting "Hamas". The police subsequently arrested a few members of the Arab-European League who were behind this flag burning incident. It seems there's no longer any debate, it is just getting uglier.
