The Hague. The Dutch government collapsed Saturday, the prime minister said, after members of the coalition government failed to agree on a NATO request to extend the Netherlands’ military mission in Afghanistan, AFP reported.
“Later today, I will will offer to her majesty the Queen the resignations of the ministers and deputy ministers of the (Labour Party) PvdA,” premier Jan Peter Balkenende told journalists in the early hours.
He made the announcement after the cabinet held more than 16 hours of talks in The Hague to try to settle the dispute.
The PvdA is one of three parties in the coalition government, with Balkenende’s Christian Democratic Appeal the senior partner.

Meanwhile I am laying down at the moment, since I have a shoulder inflammation which cause a lot of pain. The only opportunity is that I can read the books I just got: one abut Arkan and one about Mladic, very interesting books….I hope I soon will be back and feeling better!
