I'm glad to see Balkenende resign.
And at the same time I think that more politicians in the world should be as humble as the Dutch ones. Now we saw Balkenende resign over a dispute over one secretary. A few years back the Kok government resigned over the Srebrenica massacre.
In contrast look at Schröder and Berlusconi. They even declined to step down after they clearly lost an election!
My 'tip to the hat' to the Dutch government!
PS: I'm a German living in the Netherlands. Civil servant of her majesty :-)
