and the award for the most ostrich-like country in Europe goes to... Holland!

I actually read this column by Anne Applebaum yesterday, but heard her interviewed today on Bill Bennett's radio show. The gist of it is that the Netherlands is wavering on providing protection for Ayann Hirsi Ali who has spoken out about the brutal way some Moslems treat their women. Apparently there are many people in Holland who just want to pretend the problem doesn't exist. When will these wimpy socialist types realize that evil has to be confronted? If it is ignored, it just grows stronger.
