Dutch divided over Mr Wilders at Ground Zero

It’s hard to know how to take this. The most lefty Dutch might approve of him speaking here because they are extremely anti-American and would feel good about lumping Wilders in with us. I’ve had my fair share of anti-Americanism in Holland, although much less since the 2008 election.

The more paranoid Dutch might also think that the more he spouts off in NY instead of in A’dam, the greater the chances that the next terrorist attack will be on another sky-scraper and not, say, on a dike.

Anyway, I wouldn’t think that the 20% who approve of him speaking in New York are necessarily the 20% (or whatever) who support him.
