Every one of the major cities in Netherlands has a unique character, despite the fact that all the cities lie very closely. Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and The Hague all are members of the Randstad conurbation, having a ten million population. The major tourist destinations in Netherland are Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht. The urban parts of Holland comprise of some stunning galleries, museums and exhibitions.

Amsterdam persuades lots of tourists every year, with its majestic buildings, historic centre, distinct canal ring and museums. However, The Hague, Haarlem, Delft, Utrecht, Maastricht and Groningen also possess their share of museums, historic buildings, attractions and traditions. You can reach nearly anywhere in Netherlands by train or by bike.

Rotterdam is famous for its eye-catching modern architecture, as illustrated by the Erasmus Bridge, locally known as the "Swan". There are some UNESCO world heritage sites also in Holland. The coastal area has great significance in the life of Dutch people and the coastal areas have some attractive beaches that have sea fishing, horse riding, sailing and kite surfing. You may not find many destinations like Holland, which gives satisfaction in all ways possible.

farkItButton("Biggest Newspaper In Holland Says Dutch Intelligence Helped Prepare Imminent Attack On Iran");

The biggest Newspaper in the Netherlands today devotes its front page to news that the Dutch intelligence agency has helped the CIA prepare for an air attack on Iran which it now believes is imminent.

AVID, Holland's military intelligence service, has pulled back from operations it was carrying out inside Iran as it believes an American led attack will go ahead within weeks according to De Telegraaf's sources.

The headline reads:

"AIVD is calling back spy because of US plans
ATTACK ON IRAN IMMINENT"

De Telegraaf reports that the decision has already been made by the U.S.
to attack Iran using unmanned aircraft. Potential targets are said to be nuclear facilities and military installations. The latter have been mapped by the CIA with the help of the Dutch secret service.

A portion of the article reads:

Good sources have declared to the Telegraaf that the AIVD has been operating in Iran for the last few years with the purpose of the infiltration and sabotage of the weapons industry of the Iranian republic.

The operations are said to have been "very successful" but have recently been put to a halt because of american plans for an air attack. Information regarding the AIVD operation has been shared with the CIA in recent years according to the sources.

Iran is probably working towards an atomic bomb and refuses to comply to western demands to stop enriching uranium. In june Israeli vice president Shaul Mofaz made the statement that an Israeli attack is inevitable if Iran continues its quest for atomic weapons.

The full article is online here.

A roughly translated version can also be found here.

Holland is a staunch ally of the U.S. government in the "war on terror". Dutch troops have served on the front lines in both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.

I stare sleeplessly at the bunk above my head. I have ended up in a hostel in Rotterdam, as you do on the average Thursday night, and it is a funky little place. Very basic, but not a mouse in sight, and I've had fun hanging out with cool traveller dudes from all over the world in the very studenty bar. Sleep, however, is proving to be something of a challenge in a dorm containing dozens of beds.

If it was just the snoring, it might be easier to get used to it, the way you can eventually adjust to the overly loud ticking of a clock that's been keeping you awake. However, in this sort of environment, all sorts of factors come into play. Like people rolling in at regular intervals, just back from a night out.

Crash! Bang! Clatter!

Snore! Snore! Snore!

Then you've got the mattresses, which are plastic-covered things that squeak and creak and groan every time someone as much as twitches in her sleep. When the girl above me turns over, it sounds like the building is in the process of crashing down around my ears.

Creak! Squeak! Groan!

Crash! Bang! Clatter!

Snore! Snore! Snore!

I sigh softly to myself and cuddle closer to Eeyore, who seems unaffected by the Armageddonesque noise level in the room. I close my eyes and try to imagine I'm completely alone. I manage to enter a state that could be described as a light doze, but am disturbed by a man stealthily entering the girls only dorm - my bed is right beside the door, so I watch as he creeps past and appears to be inspecting the sleeping figures in the bunks. In my tired state, I can do no more than wonder what he's doing, and then I forget about him until morning, when I awake to find the place in uproar. Everyone's babbling about a man, an attack. There are police. They want to talk to anyone who saw anything suspicious, and I find myself being interviewed and identifying the shady-looking guy from the dorm. He is taken away, shouting that he is innocent, and a feeling of Atonement-like panic washes over me as self-doubt creeps in and accuses me of pointing the finger at the wrong person.

Creak! Squeak! Groan!

As the girl above me turns over again and the mattress resumes its earthquake impressions, I wake up with a jump and realise that that last bit was just one of those very "real" dreams. Dazed and confused, I continue my sleepless journey towards morning.

I am desperately in need of a good night's sleep tonight, you know.
