Netherlands to withdraw troops from Iraq

The Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Jan Peter Balkenende announced the withdrawal of all Dutch troops from Iraq. All 1350 military personnel are expected to be back home before mid March.

The US government put pressure on the Dutch government claiming that all good work done by the Dutch troops would now be lost, and one of the governing coalition parties, the Liberal Party calls the decision inconsistent. Yet, the majority of the Dutch population will be relieved and glad that finally the government follows the wish of the population it is supposed to serve.
