Plucky Little Belgium

Didn't we once fight a war at least ostensibly to defend this, historically our principal ally and trading partner on the Continent, an entity not unlike our own United Kingdom, even headed by a monarch of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, and with a social democracy based on Christian principles?

And didn't it, at least ostensibly, have something to do with defending Serbia, too? Didn't the Serbs fight with us both in that war and in the one after it?

Thank goodness that we have not now sided instead with the SS nostalgists (complete with the uniforms and everything) who want to set up their own state in Flanders, or Bosnia, or Kosovo...
