local view of international deal

Whenever I come across stuff like this, I always think of Our Dear Mistress. I tried to get a NYT story of similar vein several m's back, but I jimied it up. Not this time.

Of the 35,000 people who marched
for Belgium, most were Francophones who know what side of their social security is buttered. And I think if the Brussels area is left officially bilingual so the French types can keep their schools and cushy civil service jobs, we won't see much of a problem. Probably. You can never tell what's going to make the western Europeans break out their arms caches.

But honestly, if half of me was Wallonia, I'd really want to seperate from me too.
