Next Stop - Belgium

I think I had this discussion before. The Belgians still aren't getting the message.

I think that we should file suit against the Belgian government for attempted subversion of the US Constitution. We can find them guilty in absentia, based on the text of their silly little "universality" law, and we can sentence them. I vote that we sentence them to a lifetime of living with Jacques Chirac.

We can then enforce our sentence by invading Belgium and removing the miscreants to the Presidential Palace in Paris to begin their serving their sentence. Then maybe we can replace the Belgian government with one that actually participates in the politics of this planet.

This would be a great opportunity for all involved. We'd get to inform the Belgians that they do not have sovereignty over us, no matter how much they wish it. And we'd get to prove to the French that the proposed European counterweight to NATO won't work without the US or UK.

Of course, we might get accused of trying to corner the world chocolate market. But then again it might be funny to watch the anti-warriors protesting Hershey’s. Let's see them work that name into an anti-war/anti-capitalist slogan!
