Jan Peter Balkenende may have had plenty of political sores, when it is a matter of war (life and death), he is wholly responsible as are all members of his Cabinet. Does Dutch parliament find Jaap de Hoop Scheffer at fault for withholding information leading up to the bombing and invasion of Iraq? Yes, I consider Balkenende equally responsible and should go. The choice between an illegal war (100,000 Iraqis killed) and the political death of a Prime Minister isn't too difficult IMHO.
