: Hi Bea and Rich,
: I must admit I am rather shocked too. As is the whole country. Everybody is talking about this. I never thought anything like this could ever happen here. As our Prime Minister said: "The Netherlands is a tolerant country where, although naturally there are opposing political points of view, there is respect for one another and one can fight with words, not bullets".
: I'm afraid this will profoundly influence the way we arrange things here and live with each other, and not for the better.
: Ilse
Well put by your Prime Minister! Please keep us posted as we don't receive detailed news like you do regarding European events.
