Personally i would first like to see some serious Reparations from the Spanish: they totally raped the Republic of the Netherlands back in the 17th century before we finally kicked them out after 80 years. Also the Brits should pay us Dutchies a handsome sum of money for repeatedly sinking Dutch merchant/pirate vessels from the 15th century on, until about the 19th. We only sunk a few of theirs, it's not fair! We could have been an empire too, we should be compensated.
After that perhaps we could discuss that whole slave trading thing.

They sent 3 f-16 with infrared scanning equipment.
Whenever someone gets lost here it seems to be a bureaucracy. Then 7 years later Peter R de Vries comes and solves it out of the blue.

EDIT: also, there seems to be more sympathy here for the boy who's now in jail and his parent then for this American girl. From what i read in the papers i mean - it's not big news here at all.
