	Bystanders to Mass Murder by Samantha Power
		On Tuesday the popular Dutch prime minister, Wim Kok, and his cabinet stepped down in response to a 7,600-page report that faulted the Dutch government and army for sending a flimsy posse of some 400 Dutch peacekeepers on an "ill-conceived and virtually impossible" mission to protect Bosnian Muslims in the U.N. safe area of Srebrenica.
		Kok, who was prime minister at the time of the massacre, reportedly burst into tears when he read the Dutch report.
		Kok's resignation marked the first time in our age of genocide when an outside power has paid a tangible political price for its sins of omission.

		Kok, tipped as a potential successor to Romano Prodi as European Union president, was not regarded as a mover and a shaker in power.

	First cabinet of Wim Kok - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.tamu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The First cabinet of Wim Kok (1994-1998), also called the "Purple Coalition" because of its social-democrat (red) and liberal (blue) components, was a Dutch government formed by the political parties PVDA, VVD and D66.
		D66 had won its greatest political victory with the slogan that the Christian democrats should be in the opposition for a change.
		The desire to form a cabinet without the Chirstian Democrats was based on the pivotal role in the political center that the Christian-democrat political parties play in Dutch politics, which allowed them to be part of each government since 1917.

		We needed to have general elections because the Balkenende cabinet (consisting of the Christian-democrat CDA, the liberal-conservative VVD and the D66 political reform party) lost its parliament majority after the Hirsi Ali crisis when D66 withdrew its support of the cabinet.
		Three-party cabinets are known to be unstable, partly because negotiations between three parties are more complicated than negotiations between two parties, and partly the combination of two large(ish) parties with one much smaller one tends to cause tension in the cabinet.
		The party was also part of the last Balkenende cabinet (needed because the other two parties in the cabinet didn't have a parliament majority) until it withdrew its support after the Hirsi Ali crisis, thus necessitating the general elections.
