Kids on the Catwalk? What's Wrong with this Picture?
So what's the big deal? Kids are being taught to "strut their stuff" on the catwalk for a "Global Children's Fashion Week" event? Many think it's harmless.
What does it teach a child to be put on display, ogled and evaluated by adults for the purpose of selling designer clothes? Is this to the child's benefit? If not, then what are the unintended messages it sends?
Here's a few just for starters:
1. Expensive clothes are more important than you are.
2. You exist to please adults.
3. Learning to show yourself off is also really important.
4. Being real, genuine and private isn't all it's cracked up to be.
So where's the boundary? When do you know you've crossed it?
The best question to ask is this:
Cui bono: Who benefits? You or your child?
Fat-Phobia at a Fever Pitch…
Was it a joke? Or are we living in an alternative universe? The by-words of the politically correct used to be, "tolerance," "diversity," "no-more-bullying," and "mean people suck."
Now, in the name of "but we have to DO something, anything!" comes a proposal for institutionalized bigotry and elevating the shaming of fat people to a moral obligation.
A bioethicist named Daniel Callahan thinks it's a good idea to shame obese people because they simply don't know that being fat heaps social disapproval and discrimination upon them. He says they just aren't aware of how fat they are and we ought to embark on a new era of "zero tolerance for body fat." He adds that he "can't see how anyone could possibly have a problem with that."
A billion dollar weight loss industry hasn't been able to come up with a one-size-fits-all magic pill that eradicates obesity from the planet and that's the best he can do? Institutionalized bigotry? Don't get me wrong. I would like him to stop doing altogether and recognize that he only gets to be in charge of his own body and not everyone else's.
Among other things Mr. Callahan doesn't understand is that some people regardless of their age or class, unconsciously use extra weight to set a boundary against exactly the kind of intrusion and cruelty he thinks is in their best interest to tolerate. There are many other complex causes for obesity, none of which respond to shame or one-size-fits-all solutions.
While I don't recommend it as a coping mechanism, obesity for some represents an unconscious response to sexual abuse. It can be an act of defiance and strength, unlike Mr. Callahan suggests (who is certain that it always means 'lazy, self-indulgent, lacking in discipline, awkward, unattractive, weak-willed and sloppy.') There is actually something worse than not looking good, though Mr. Callahan would be hard-pressed to know what that is.
Should Mr. Callahan be the one to force (as if he could) others to remove that protection just so he won't be offended by their pulchritude?
It's clear that Callahan and people like him are the ones with the problem. But just as some believe about our waistlines, the problem is growing into an epidemic.
Many people with weight issues have unfortunately been so beaten down by the stigma of which they are very well aware, that they do a great job of hating themselves before others get the chance–almost out of a sense of obligation. The treatment for these patients is to attempt to undo that ugly cycle.
Civil rights, tolerance, "Fat is a Feminist Issue" all appear to have been thrown under the bus in favor of "but don't we have to DO something?" Where are Bella Abzug and Gloria Steinem when you need them? Or would they have been co-opted onto this new fat-phobia bandwagon too?
There's one more thing to say to Mr. Callahan: You ought to be ashamed.
Boy Scouts: Gay, Yay or Nay?
CHILDREN are being used to advance the personal, political and social agendas of adults before they have had a chance to explore and develop an identity (sexual or otherwise) of their own.
As political positions and tempers flair, adults are thrusting their children into adult roles in the hopes of scoring political points. A five-year-old lesbian? An "openly gay ten-year-old?" A course in child development is profoundly needed, en masse. Children may experiment with sexuality but this changes frequently into young adulthood before they know who they are or are meant to be.
Regardless of whether they turn out to be gay, straight, or presbyterian, they have a right to discover this on their own, rather than being made the proxy of misdirected, childlike adults who find them easy and moldable subjects. This abominable trend is resulting in no less than a generation of stolen childhoods.
What is required here is adult restraint, and that is without a doubt, "for the children."
The Dying Idea of 'Live and let live'
Who in life, thinks others have an obligation to accept them? I certainly never did, even when I was at my fattest. Yes, I encountered hatred and plenty of ugly behavior. Some people were verbally cruel and I lost jobs. Did I ever believe I should take them to court in attempt to force them to like me?
Or maybe, like a story in Colorado this month, they ought to be forced to bake me a cake? Since some bureaucrats have confered upon themselves the power to restrict the size soda you can buy and in light of the growing social acceptability of hating fat people, (especially by 'tolerance activists') we are well on our way to seeing bakers restricted from baking a cake for a customer who is deemed unacceptably fat. Meanwhile, people ought to be forced to bake you one if you are in a politically acceptable group! Both are ridiculous and threaten the most precious of things of which you'd think all groups would treasure: Freedom.
I have always loved non-conformists. They have the courage to go their own way, regardless of others' approval. They often blaze new trails. Sometimes they persuade others and sometimes they learn from reactions they receive. How silly would it be for those people to spend their time forcing others to approve of how individualistic they are?
Just as I have feared, the trend of using force to make others live, think and behave as an "elite" group of bureaucrats and special interest groups demand, is growing. Not too long ago, a popular bumper sticker said, "If you don't like abortion, don't have one." It never said, "If you don't like abortion, I'm going to force you to like it anyway." It pains me to state something so obvious but apparently, there are those who have forgotten: I must protect your free will to disagree, disapprove and/or dismiss even something which I love, so that I can protect my freedom to do the same.
Barbara Walters Chooses 'Honey Boo Boo:' Say it Ain't So, Barbara!
I finally did it. I watched the segment of the Barbara Walters Special in which she features Honey Boo Boo and her family. Walters named Alana Thompson one of the "Ten Most Fascinating People of 2012."
Ms. Walters chose not to interview the family directly but presented previously seen clips. Apparently, she took a lot of heat for her choice which also helped to publicize her special before it aired. Intentionally or not, Alana was used to sell Walters' program just as she has continued to be used by her mother and her family to garner money, recognition and fame.
What is most curious, is that the most "fascinating" questions as to why Honey Boo Boo has been so fascinating in 2012, were never asked, questions like:
- Why do people watch this show and why were its ratings higher in some markets, than the national political conventions?
- Fifteen years after the JonBenet Ramsey case, why is there a show called "Toddlers and Tiaras" and why is it more popular than ever?
- Why do parents keep putting their kids in beauty pageants?
As in the case of many television programs, initially people tune in for a little escape and perhaps some curiosity. Many can't believe a show like this is even on TV. But if they become a regular watcher, they may be getting seduced in somewhat the same way as the participants and the parents. The voyeuristic quality of this whole endeavor feeds on itself. (yet another not-so-inadvertant food pun.)
Hollywood has never had good boundaries when it comes to child stars. The long list of children who hit adolescence just in time for an adult meltdown, is legendary in Hollywood. From Michael Jackson, to Lindsay Lohan, show biz has rarely had positive long-term effects on kids.
One has to wonder who is leading whom. Does the media lead the culture or is it creating it? In this case, individual citizens must begin to educate and lead the media by refusing to watch a spectacle in which children are being robbed of their childhoods before our very eyes.
Apparently, Barbara Walters was seduced too. It's unfortunate that she didn't use the opportunity to shed real light on Princess by Proxy Syndrome and the damaging consequences that await a whole new generation of little girls.
Figures Can Lie, Liars can Figure, but Who's Defining my Figure?
According to ObesityMyths.com "thirty-five million Americans went to sleep one night in 1998 at a government-approved weight and woke up "overweight" the next morning, thanks to a change in the government's definition. That group includes currently "overweight" celebrities like Will Smith and Pierce Brosnan, as well as NBA stars Kobe Bryant and LeBron James." "Overweight" had previously been defined as a BMI of 27.8 for men and 27.3 for women; in 1998 it was lowered to a BMI of 25 for both genders."
Why is it so important to stir the pot of obesity hysteria and label more Americans fat? Could it be that it makes us flabbier and more tolerant of food regulation and food controls? It's a losing vicious circle, (and not in a good way) as more control and admonishment leads to more real obesity and more FATLASH.
Obesity Myths also reports that many of the biggest food cops who regulate and litigate are funded by the weight loss industry. Check out this site: www.ObesityMyths.com It may explode a few myths you've been feeding too!
From Napoleons to "Bloombergs," They're All Little Dictators
This week, The Atlantic praised Mayor Michael Bloomberg as one of the "brave thinkers" of 2012.
Is it bravery which leads a politician to anoint himself emperor and captain of the food police merely by virtue of having been elected mayor of New York City? Will the mayor of Philadelphia next be anointing himself captain of the fashion police?
Napoleon crowned himself emperor too. Maybe we'll have a new pastry in a few hundred years called the "Bloomberg." I have a feeling this Bloomberg would ban that too –but those are trans fats for another blog post.
While it's encouraging to know that the Mayor's hubris is largely unpopular, I keep wondering how any freedom-loving American could support a politician, City Council or other, who believes they can with force, dictate to those over the age of consent, how much soda, salt or "trans fats" they are allowed to consume. (It doesn't work with children either, as FATLASH attempts to illustrate.)
After several conversations with people who see nothing wrong with allowing the government's bloated belly to keep expanding, I had an epiphany:
Those I spoke with don't think they need laws to control their diet. They think other people do. The campaign of hysteria over the "obesity epidemic" has demonized overweight people with such fervor that an increasing number of people are willing to allow bureaucrats to be their proxy in regulating what other people eat. This is a relatively new development and should be disturbing. What is also surprising is the belief that blanket bans on specific foods and ingredients will actually "make" people thinner.
A billion dollar weight loss industry has tried unsuccessfully to find a magic recipe to accomplish this for decades and their clientele is voluntary. They know better than anyone, that unless the client "owns" the process for themselves, they are doomed to failure.
"They came for the Ho Hos, but I didn't like Ho Hos, so I said nothing. They came for the Mountain Dew, but I don't drink Mountain Dew, so I stood by and did nothing. Then, they came for the nachos, my favorite tailgate snack, but they were banned before I could even protest."
The Daily Mail reports that the Mayor and his minions now have their eye on your buttered popcorn. Proof positive that dictators are emboldened when their edicts are passively accepted. The Atlantic may have been right afterall. Bloomberg is bold –but not in a good way.
Whether food dictators are in your house or in your state house, it's never about the food. It's about control. If you stand by and allow others control over your stomach today, they will surely attempt and may succeed in controlling the rest of you tomorrow.
Freedom Comes in Many Flavors
On the eve of the conclusion of what has seemed like an interminable election cycle, I'm in the mood to wax philosophical about the issues I care about most and the country I love so much. (how sad that in some corners, such proclamations of love for one's country is considered to be extreme.)
Freedom has always been the language of America and both parties have been known to use the idea to defend agendas which contradict those basic precepts. It behooves the voter to conduct his own taste test to determine whether the agenda truly shows respect for individual liberty and freedom.
If you are so adamant about your point of view that you would use the power and force of government to compel others to comply, you are no champion of freedom. If you draw no distinction between what you yourself would choose to do and what you would force others to do, then you do not understand our founding principles of Liberty. If you think you are entitled to "save others from themselves," it will only be a matter of time before someone will appoint themselves lord and master over you too.
The true litmus test for freedom is to defend to the death others' rights to behave as you wouldn't, so long as it does not infringe on your rights to do the same. Unfortunately, we are living in a time when that simple principle has been twisted and neglected.
I may abhor sodium and soda in 17 oz containers, but I'll defend to the death your right to ingest them. That is but one flavor and defense of freedom but it symbolizes so many others. So please vote and vote responsibly!
Beautiful, Beautiful…But Not if You're Fat…
I loved this letter posted by Emma, Mom of little Helena on her blog, "Wealthy Single Mommy."
How ironic that hatred which surrounds "fat" and obesity in this country never benefits from such positive expressions of acceptance. In fact, people are expected to hate themselves and often do so in order to inocculate themselves from the onslaught of fat hatred from others.
Fat hatred is often couched in "…but it's for your own good" and has ballooned to such proportions that many are called fat even when they aren't, as the highest form of insult.
A positive body image isn't necessary for just some. It's a necessity to affect any lasting change in one's own body, whether it is to lose weight or to tolerate an "imperfection." Everyone's entitled to disapprove of course, but wouldn't it be great if people recognized more readily, that people come in all shapes and sizes and forcing them to fit into prescribed dimensions is really not their business?

The school board of Roosevelt, L.I., closed the system's rundown and troubled schools yesterday just hours before the State Board of Regents was to vote on whether to remove the board for failing to take even small measures to improve safety and instruction.
The Long Island board's action, which locked out 2,800 students as they were returning from their Christmas break, came, the school board said, because the junior-senior high school and four elementary schools lack such fundamental safety devices as working fire extinguishers, smoke detectors and fire alarms and are in violation of fire and safety codes.
But the move also appeared to be an extraordinary act of brinkmanship intended to force the state to pour more money into repairing the schools in a largely black district that board members say is one of the poorest, yet most heavily taxed, on Long Island.
In Roosevelt yesterday, teen-agers roamed around town in the rain or stayed at home watching movies, with a few stopping at the dilapidated high school in search of buses that usually take them to vocational programs in another school district. Many parents and teachers said they learned the schools were closed by word of mouth.
One student, Derrick Simpson, said he rolled out of bed and began to dress for his first day back in third grade at Ulysses Byas Elementary School. But before he could tie his shoes, his grandmother shouted: "Get back to sleep! The schools are closed."Continue reading the main story
Another student, Melody Harkness, 17, said she did not mind the closing.
"It's not safe for kids to be inside," she said, as she waited in vain outside the high school for a bus to take her to Westbury's vocational program. "The bathrooms aren't safe. There's chipped paint everywhere. The lockers are always broken. They should close it and fix it for good."
Although some Roosevelt school board members have tried to picture the dispute as an effort by mostly white state officials to take over a largely black board, the dispute is far more complicated, with many black public officials and parents despairing of the Roosevelt board's ability to mend a system where only four high school graduates last June qualified for a Regents diploma.
A state oversight panel contends the board has taken only one of 13 state-ordered steps to rectify matters, resisting even such free remedies as drafting a code of discipline.
The panel, which was created last spring under a law authorizing the State Education Commissioner to take over the Roosevelt district, has urged the Regents to dismiss the five board members. Under the law, the oversight panel would manage the schools in what would be the first state takeover in the history of New York's schools.
Just before 1 A.M., after nearly 13 hours of testimony in a crowded conference room in Manhattan, the Regents retreated into executive session to deliberate whether to unseat the board. Witnesses had testified that the Roosevelt board had essentially refused to cooperate with the monitoring panel and found excuses to avoid installing even minimal safety measures.
David Carroll, the president of the Roosevelt Teachers Association, told the Regents that the board's failure to notify teachers of the schools' closing had further eroded morale.
"I think it's at the lowest point I've ever seen," he said. "There's a real sense of hopelessness. Wherever they turn, it seems to get worse."
It was not clear when students would be able to return to their classrooms and much depended on the outcome of the Regents' hearing.
J. Edward Meyer, a Regent, said that if the Regents voted to keep the board, it could put students in neighboring schools until the board acted to clear up safety violations. If the Regents were to oust the board, the state would have to hire workers to correct the violations, a move Dr. Daniel A. Domenech, the head of the monitoring panel, promised could be done in days.
In defending the Roosevelt board's action, Seretta McKnight, its president, said the monitors had failed to help the board manage the schools and had failed to obtain the money to hire contractors and administrators to correct obvious failings.
"The whole purpose of the intervention was for the state to give us the resources," she said.
Asked why the board could not come up with something as simple as a disciplinary code, she said the members were still reviewing various recommendations for one.
Dr. Domenech, who is the superintendent of the Bureau of Cooperative Educational Services in Western Suffolk County, was the star witness at yesterday's hearing.
He said that by October his three-member monitoring panel had put together a plan that required the board to write a student conduct code, develop a computerized attendance system that alerted parents to absences by their children, appoint "lead teachers" to coordinate curriculum, and conduct a survey of building code violations.
By December, he said, "It became apparent that the Corrective Action Plan was not being adhered to and there was no urgency on the part of the board."
The board, he said, had received $2 million in grants to improve schools but had failed to spend $800,000. The board, he said, also failed to consult the oversight panel on removing the superintendent.
The one step the board did take, he said, was to survey buildings.
Under cross-examination by the board's lawyer, Oliver Smith, Dr. Domenech acknowledged that when he issued a report last April accusing the Roosevelt community of "child neglect, possibly with abuse," he had not visited any of its elementary schools. He also said that for some of the time he was supposed to be monitoring Roosevelt he was applying to be chancellor of the New York City school system.Continue reading the main story

Six killed in Kabul mosque bomb blast
|Security officials is seeing after bomb explosion in Kabul.
Report Web desk : KABUL : At least six people have been killed and at least five injured in a terrorist attack on a Shia mosque in Kabul, the Afghan Interior Ministry reports. Witnesses reported hearing a blast and gunfire at the al-Zahra mosque, located on the western outskirts of the city, on Thursday night. Ministry spokesman Najib Danesh said on Twitter that one civilian and one policeman had been killed. Six other civilians and three policemen were also said to be injured. Mr Danesh said the attacker was blocked by police upon trying to enter the mosque. After engaging the police in a gun battle, however, he took refuge in the kitchen and detonated his bomb. ISIS has taken responsibility for the blast, which Afghan officials deemed a suicide attack. The attack came during the holy month of Ramadan, on a night when Afghani Muslims packed into mosques around the city for prayer. Senior officials were reportedly due to attend the evening services at al-Zahra.(01)

"I'm interested in just the dresser. I see back in July you responded that it was available for purchase separately. Is this still the case? If so, can you re-post the link?"
We've had this set now for over a year, and it still looks as nice as it did right out of the boxes. I was able to find the tall dresser pictured with this set on another website, making it an even better. Nicely finished (for the most part), easily assembled, solid wood. The only disappointing thing was that the top of the dresser mirror was not finished, which seems a bit odd, but at least it can't be seen. I would recommend to others....

Adequate for the job
This furniture is for a second home so I was looking for something that would fill an immediate need that was reasonably priced. The bed is relatively sturdy, but the case goods (nightstands and dresser) are not all that substantial. In fairness, it was about what I expected. The style and finish are nice. The headboard and footboard arrived damaged, but were replaced in short order with professional response and courtesy from Overstock's customer service people. That was very good and left an overall favorable impression of the company for me. I will certainly continue to shop this site and I recommend it to others.Read More

Great deal
I was frustrated with the exorbitant cost of nicer furniture sets and the cheap quality of affordable ones, so I took a chance and ordered off of Overstock. I was pleasantly surprised by the decent quality of this bedroom set. It's a bit darker than I thought, but it looks very nice. Drawers pull out nicely and bed feels very solid. My husband was dreading putting it all together, but everything came assembled except the bed frame!Read More

Hello ncmom77, unfortunately, the item number was listed in error, it was from a different bedroom collection. We do not have a dresser available for this set. Thank you for checking with us.
"Can just the foot board and head board be purchased alone?"
Hello christinedeibert, Unfortunately, the bed is only sold in the set. Thank you for checking with us.
"I was looking into this set, and also noticed in buying the upright chest of drawers too, shown in the picture. However, I read the answer with the part # you gave below, 15073917, is not for this set when searching. This item # was for the Abbyson Metropolitan collection. Does Overstock not carry the upright chest of drawers for this collection?"
Hello nmbuyer505, We apologize for the misinformation. Unfortunately, we do not have an upright chest for this set in our inventory. Thank you for checking back with us.
"i love the looks of this set and the great reviews. However I am wondering if you can also buy the upright chest of drawers shown in the picture? i need a set that includes a chest of drawers as well as the dresser with attachable mirror."
Thank you for shopping with us ottosgirl. We have this dresser from this collection, 15073917. I hope it works for you. Have a great day.
"One more question, does the set include the chest? If not can I buy that as well? The product description paragraph mentions a 6 drawer dresser however the bullets has it listed as a 16 drawer dresser. I wasn't sure if this was trying to include the chest as well or was an error."
Hello! I apologize for the confusion. This beautiful set comes with a king-sized bed, 6-drawer dresser, attachable mirror, and two 2-drawer nightstands. We appreciate your feedback and are currently working on updating the website. Thanks for shopping with us.

Food labels are on every piece of packaged food; but you won't find one on a apple for example. You can google the nutritional information for an apple, but and apple doesn't need a label.
It's very easy to misread food labels. One package of chips may contain 2 helpings- how crazy is that! The outside of a great new processed cereal may say only 5 grams sugar- until you read the label and find that one serving is 1/4 cup. That looks like unfair advertising to me.
But, buyer beware. You must read the label - and understand what it says- to know what you are getting.
I taught my kids one thing on the cereal nutrition label- read the listing of ingredients. If sugar was listed first, they couldn't buy. Why did I do that?
First, I wanted them to know that there is more to look at than the pretty picture on the front of the box and more than the commercial with the funny animals.
Second, sugar was the most important thing. Too much sugar wasn't "good for you".
Third, they couldn't read most of the other ingredients listed. Not just because they were in grade school, but because, who can read some of that stuff? Too many letters with no meaning to me.
So, sugar was the one thing to look for.
Oh, by the way, did you know that the ingredients are listed in the order of weight (from most to least). If sugar is first, there's alot of sugar.
What's the most important nutritional number for you? Sodium? Carbs? Sugar?
Again, this isn't unfair advertising, but do I feel manipulated. But, then, that is what advertising does.
Look at your food labels- are they green. A Cornell University study did a study of 93 students using three different colored nutrition labels.
Green nutrition labels lead the study group to believe the food was healthy. Even while reading the actual numbers, they saw a healthier food.
Red labels were seen as unhealthy, even with the same printed information.
White labels were then used, and again, were seen as less healthy.
Kermit the frog would be happy to learn that "green" means healthy.
Don't be fooled, the numbers make the difference.

Croke choker for Robinson
By Ben Blackmore
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Jason Robinson has been ruled out of England's Six Nations trip to Ireland.
RBS Six Nations, Ireland v England, Croke Park, Saturday February 24, KO 5.30pm
England will have to negotiate Saturday's massive Six Nations clash against Ireland without top try-scorer Jason Robinson.
The World Cup-winning winger made a sparkling return to international action after coming out of retirement, scoring three tries in the opening two Six Nations matches.
However, Robinson has been suffering from a neck problem all week, and England's management team have decided to rule him out of Saturday's encounter.
In his place comes Harlequins rookie David Strettle for his international debut in the cauldron-like surroundings of Croke Park.
Brian Ashton's embryonic reign as England boss has been marked by a determination to pick in-form players, with the likes of Nick Easter and Mike Tindall already featuring in the first team.
Strettle has been in good form for Quins this season, scoring eight tries in 14 appearances to earn his international call-up.
Now he will be asked to showcase his talent on arguably the biggest stage in world rugby, after Ashton opted for the 23-year-old ahead of more experienced campaigners such as Mark Cueto and Ben Cohen.
His selection means Newcastle man Mathew Tait remains on the bench as cover for both the wide and midfield positions.
England are still awaiting news on Jonny Wilkinson's availability, after the pivotal fly-half missed training on Thursday with a tight hamstring.
Mike Catt stands by as cover, with a final decision expected later on Friday.

I'm gonna laugh when I'm buried alive
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again I don't deserve to have you I couldn't face a life without your light
But all of that was ripped apart... when you refused to fight
So save your breath, I will not hear. I think I made it very clear.

Following steps of other major public transit and transportation agencies across the U.S., intercity and motorcoach carriers are stepping up security procedures in response to the Nov. 13 attacks that killed at least 132 people in Paris. The incidents heightened fears of such an attack on U.S. soil, though authorities say there is no specific or credible threat.
Peter Pantuso, president of the American Bus Association, which has 4,000 members including motorcoach operators, hotels and other vacation destinations, said the push to follow extra safety practices should reassure travelers.
"It is no different than post-911 and no different than practices that most of the industry has been following for years," he said. "Really just to be vigilant, be alert and be aware of your surroundings. This is a reminder to everybody in the world we live in that they've got to be aware."

Dutch MPs clash on development aid
Junior coalition partner Christian Democrats CDA have agreed to support proposed development aid cutbacks over the next five years. During a fierce parliamentary debate on foreign policy on Tuesday, CDA said it wanted to set up an formal review system to evaluate each year whether the 50-million euro cutbacks were justified.
CDA's decision to support its main coalition partner, the free-market conservative VVD, is a reversal of an earlier standpoint on reducing development aid. CDA MP Kathleen Ferrier said the 250-million reduction in aid is a "painful area" for her party, "but I have to be realistic – there's no room," she added.
The Labour Party PvdA and the Socialist Party SP, were angered by the announcement. Referring to the government's decision to increase the contribution to the World Bank fivefold, both left-wing opposition parties said the CDA was making a political choice. The PvdA and the SP want to reduce the Netherlands' share of the World Bank budget.
VVD and Labour had a head-on clash when the subject turned to the Netherlands' image abroad. VVD MP Atzo Nicolai said that the Netherlands wasn't perceived as a "reliable partner", because it didn't comply with NATO's request's for extending the Dutch mission in Uruzgan. PvdA MP Frans Timmermans responded angrily to the VVD's reproach, pointing out that the Dutch fulfilled their commitments and that no agreements had been made on extending the mission beyond 1 August of this year.
Earlier this year, the issue brought down the government, when Labour opted to reject a proposal from its coalition partner, the CDA, to extend the mission in Afghanistan. Mr Timmermans added that the Netherlands' image abroad had been tremendously damaged by the fact that the VVD and the CDA's coalition minority agreed to form a government with support from Geert Wilder's far-right Freedom Party.
