In Nederland is wat de scheiding Kerk en Staat de Bushdoctrine praktijk. Zolang er geen specifieke religie wordt gepromoot boven anderen is het OK. Dat zullen Balkenende en DHS wel eens met George W hebben besproken tijdens een lunch en zo zijn ze vriendjes geworden.... 

George: 'But aren't you guys from that ultra-liberal country in Old Europe?"
JP:"We are trying to reform it"
George:"Oh great, just what I try to do up here. But I have to deal with this damn constitution that ties my hands. How do you guys get away with that. Don't you have liberal activist lawyers".
JP: "Constitution? Lawyers? What are you talking about. In Holland, we politicians have the power to do whatever we want".
George:"Really, and how do you get elected with such an anti-liberal agenda. We have all those so-called civil rights groups that throw tons of bucks in ads against me, particularly if I say what I really want".
JP: "We don't, and we don't get elected either".
George:"Wow, that sounds like heaven. It's much tougher up here. I'm trying, for instance, to fund our conservative faith-based schools with tax money, but those damn liberals are able to stop me at every attempt. I've tried everything already."
JP:"Our religious school get funded by the government just as much as our public schools. In fact, that's written in our constitution."
George: "Wow, how amazing, let's keep in contact, maybe we can exchange some ideas.."
JP: "Well, now you mention this, I was thinking, how about you appoint my dearest friend DHS as secretary general of NATO or something..."
DHS:"Ehh, hi Mr Bush, that's me, DHS.."
George:" OK, see you guys, you're doing a great job over there in Scandinavia..."
JP: "Thanks, bye, just wanted to let you know that we support you whatever your plans are reagrding Iraq".
George: "Sure, you guys share my faith, I can count on you, see you".

DHS: "Is het gelukt JP"
JP:"Ik denk het wel Jaap"    

Groeten,
