Introduction to this site

Looking at the world of today from a little country like Flanders (Belgium) can be a scary experience. Like everybody else, I suppose, I feel that we live in a world that is daily becoming more unstable. The frightening part is the vague sense of impending doom and the realisation that there is not much that one person or one nation or even a so-called superpower can do to fend off the looming danger. The only thing I can do is offer my two eurocents worth on the State of the Planet.
