Oops, when I spoke about that fellow from Leiden, I didn't know I was referring to the same person I just called by his nickname 
. Looks quite impolite this way. Guess I misread the order of posts from your quote.
I must say, IFTB, it's very interesting how you refer to the general Dutch attitude in any conversation. I somewhat recognize the questioning way of conversation, but to say 'it is in the people' .... mwah. I don't quite see how it fits into this discussion. It could have been easily said when looking at a random American conversation, I can as easily imagine it for any country.
On the other hand, I do think you hit the spot when you say "The real irritating thing is that they think that their country's opinions and actions are centerstage in the world. ". I think this statement holds truth for many people here in the Netherlands and I think many of the media contribute to this view as well, but please keep in mind that whatever you say about the Dutch, or about any other nationality: generalisation is unavoidable, for in the end it comes down to letting the actions of a few in your personal experience (now I'm not referring to your opinion of the Dutch, nor the fact you're originally Dutch, but speaking in general) determine your view of an entire nationality.
Your comparison to generalisations of other nationalities are quite striking.
Oh btw, seat 0A, ik denk niet dat modder terug gooien ons (wij worden immers op onze pik getrapt hier) echt helpt hier.

To conclude the technical side of this discussion, why not wait until the Italian investigation board publishes the factual report?
As with every investigation, that will probably take some more months of waiting for the fact, that is aviation too, you see.
In the mean time looking forward for a discussion about nations.
