True. The system was never meanth to be used like this. If anything, it's a credit to this law that it is possible to file a lawsuit against Bush. The people who file such a useless claim are to blame, and should be held individually responsable, rather than the Belgium government.
I've read in the newspaper over here that the direct cause for this law to be written were the belgian crimes commited in Congo, and the need to right the wrongs we've caused there. Belgium has officially apologised to Congo a few years ago, and this was probably the next step the government took in righting the wrongs of our past.
