Smooth, just for the record: My country *is* putting people in danger. We are currently actively involved in the war on terror. Our navy is patrolling in the Persian Gulf (edit: duh!) in search of WMDs and terrorists, our soldiers are patrolling the streets of Kabul alongside the Germans, and our soldiers are going into Iraq soon, to support the US there. Oh, and with Rotterdam being one of the most important ports in Europe, we could be a prime terrorist target. So, er... you're wrong.
Debaser: think about that? I did. Last time I checked, our way of life didn't involve bending over while a bunch of savages fucks us up the arse. The people over here are not a bunch of pacifists, nor does our culture involve ignoring problems until they blow up in our faces...
Just to refresh your memory: you *lost* in Vietnam because the enemy wouldn't fight fair. Terrorists are even worse, because at least the Vietnamese were confined to a certain geographical location. Modern terrorists can be anywhere, and there aren't many legal ways of stopping them. In fact, in *my* country, it is pretty hard to put someone in jail for plotting to blow something up - we'll need to introduce anti-terror laws to be able to do that... Until then, we cannot even use information from the secret service (CIA/FBI combo) as evidence!
