Brian - the point of that is that Belgium still does not have a functioning government because its election produced a stalemate and the different parties have not been able yet to cobble together an adminustration. Hence the 'no operating system detected'. A bit too subtle for you eh?

Belgium is not itself a dictatorship but has a huge cuckoo in the nest in the form of the undemocratic EU which is based in Brussels and which most other European countries are forced by treaty obligations to obey without question. That is the world's most powerful and corrupt dictatorship. It's a dictatorship of nations rather than of the people; something even George Orwell and Aldous Huxley could not imagine.
For the sake of Europe this dictatorship needs to be uninstalled urgently.

barryw,read your comments,read your link.intreasting as it maybe just a few factors to bear in mind.the voting population have a simuler attitude as the british [apathy rules].the freanch/dutch have never really got on this stems back for a number of years [100+],the dutch speakers detested in being ordered about in french [armed forces].depending on what part of belguim you go to depends what languidge you speak to them in.for example you get away with ordering in french in the yepres area but you drive a few miles in a ne direction ri dicksmund and you woul be totaly ignored [english asepted here probably get served faster to].then go nw or a westlerly driection niether freanch or dutch is spoken but german is.

That is what happens when you get an indecisive result in a poll.
What would have been more cobbled together, a government formed by a mix of Labour, two lots of Nationalists, a Green, the LibDems, Irish Unionists and Irish republicans. Imagine the price each group would have extracted. Imagine how unstable that would be. Truly a 'cobbeld together government' wholly in the sense that Keith refers to.
Or the alternative a Conservative/LibDem government.
Sadly these were the only choices to deal with our serious economic woes. The former would certainly have lead to a downrating of our creditworthiness and a collapse in the Bond markets. It would make our present economic difficulties look like a wonderful dream!

Marek, in Benghazi, the rebels are murdering Libyan soldiers taken prisoner, murdering sympathisers of the Libyan government and raping girls who are not on the side of the rebels.
There are videos sent by cell-phones from the criminals in Benghazi via satelite all over the world, as they boast their evil reign of murder, but these videos, and even the reports of their existence, are not shown or spoken of on the media in the West, including Britain.
I have not watched the videos purely because I do not desire to see the evil they depict, but I have seen the existence of the videos at a button's click away from me.
It won't surprise me if the Police launch an investigation into the conduct of PM Cameron and Hague the ....... who are supporting this reign of evil and deliberately hushing it up and turning the facts upside down.

The rebels are disorganised and among them are bound to be some criminals who take advantage of the situation, that happens in all wars and conflicts. But that is not the point and does not justify keeping the murderer and thug Gaddafi in power as you seem to prefer.

gaddafi is probably less of a danger than the al qaeda people involved with the rebels.
this is, and always was, a no win situation for nato.

That is not proven Howard and the best way top prevent Al Qaeda is to be in a position to have a benign influence with whatever new regime gets installed in Libya.
