The Euro Watch Continues

Belgium seeks Iran's support for Mideast peace

Belgium called on Iran Tuesday to help the European Union promote peace in the Middle East, amid efforts to improve Iran-EU trade relations.

Belgian Foreign Minister Louis Michel, on a three-day official visit to Iran, said the European Union and Iran were united in opposing terrorism but differed on definition of terrorism.

And good luck, Louis, in persuading the Iranians to come around to adopt the western definition of terrorism. Just don't let that get in the way of improved trade relations.
As I've said before, everything in Brussels is little. I guess that includes their allotment of scruples and good sense.
