OK, this may seem a bit far afield, but does everyone realize how long it has been since the Dutch have seen political violence? Some might argue that it has been unseen since WW-II but a better, more accurate argument would look back to the early 1700's! When an ugly history repeats after 300 years, might not this signal the beginning of the ultimate gold bull market...?

Assassination stops Dutch election campaign; Government mulls delaying vote

THE HAGUE, Netherlands - Stunned Dutch political leaders met Tuesday to consider postponing elections after an outspoken right-wing leader was gunned down. The prime minister appealed for calm, but the slain candidate's supporters fought with riot police near parliament.

Pim Fortuyn was shot and killed in the parking lot of a radio station where he had just given a campaign interview, nine days before elections in which his upstart anti-immigration party was expected to win up to 28 of the 150 seats in the Dutch parliament.

Police said they arrested a 33-year-old white male suspect, a Dutch citizen, but they did not release his name or a suspected motive.(cont)
