RE: Post your country national monument here.

Well indeed the European parliaments are enermous monuments … I visited it recently and man, who paid for that? 😀

Here’s a monument for the men who died in WWI.

Just stop BS’s, allright?

RE: Post your country national monument here.

I also heard they were thinking of building a EU-monument somewhere in Brussels. Anyone has got info about this.

RE: Again, please don’t spread misinformation

The US donated the most money … maybe under the Clinton-administration. Bush, however, has got other ‘priorities’. I’m sure that Japan and the EU give more than the US, but I’ll try to look it up.

RE: Post your country national monument here.

In Belgium it is the Atomium, build in 1958 for the “World convention”. It looks rather old these days, but plans are made to modernise this amazing looking structure.

But there are ofcourse more “symbols” of Belgium, like the Cathedral in Antwerp, my favourite place (not the cathedral but the little cafés around).

The last picture is the “Ijzertoren”, symbol of the Flemish identity, though these days also used by extreme right which is a shame.

RE: Again, please don’t spread misinformation

The Belgian gov’t ALONE has more representatives than the US gov’t. There are many American NGO’s at the conference, but if almost ALL heads of states attent the meeting, Bush should have been there.

Anyway, I don’t think Bush could survive such a meeting. Way too boring. He prefers “having a steak in his Texas-ranch”.

I’m very cynical about this new so called gov’t. I just have to wait, AFAIK, things on the ground haven’t changed much since 9/11 for the ordinary Afghan man/woman.

Continue your interesting chat, Phantom! Go ahead, tell us how you want to kill “all people involved with Taleban and Al Quada”. Finished? Or still angry?
