The U.S. is trying to get some NATO headquarters moved out
of Belgium because there has been talk abour arresting Tommy
Franks and other U.S. military brass for alleged war crimes committed by U.S. personnel in Iraq and elsewhere. It looks
to be a very serious situation.
The only reason why its a serious sitation is because money is involved.
Each year Belgium receives lots of money from all NATO-countries (headquarters of the NATO are in Belgium). Not all the money is spend on NATO things=> Belgium has money left wich they can use for the economy etc...
Also there are alot of ppl employed in NATO services in Belgium...so with the removal of the NATO headquarters Belgium would lose the funding and lots of jobs would disappear.
Its only a matter of money and thats why Belgium is giving into the demands of the US.
A Belgium politician said that they are willing to drop the genocide law if it concerns US representatives.

Question is what does this politician understand under US representatives.
