I sure hope not, you idiot! I wouldn't be surprised if we boycott your ass for such a racist, nationalistic, wholly unfair take on science. frown


This whole law was invented not for racism purposes or even foreign policy to please the US by excluding Iranians or something, but only to save face / make up earlier screw-ups. For example, some of our universities and our professors made it possible for India to get entire blueprints and extensive knowledge of nuclear bombs, which were later sold to various countries over the world.

I don't think we can stop the study of nuclear science by Iranian people and we should not, if only because not every Iranian is a fatalistic, nationalistic fool like Ahmadinejad... but it's pretty obvious that Dutch universities do not want to be responsible for the 'creation' of yet another nuclear power.

hehehee, our politics is full of smartypants and racists, you'd be surprised with all the other laws they try to get through ^^.


I don't disagree with you as far as certain laws go and the bad level and quality of our politicians / policies, but I don't think there's a single racist amongst our politicians... not even Wilders.
