Foreign Minister

A quote from Taki at his blog, 10 October 2007
There are worse things [than being spiked by The Spectator], like a back operation I have to have in order to defend my title next year in Brussels. By that time, I hope, there will be an independent Flanders, and my friend Paul Belien will be foreign minister.

Re: Paul Belien's proposed new role as foreign minister in an independent Flanders,I offer this cautionary quote from one of my favourite British tv comedy programmes,'Yes Minister'.
"The Foreign Office aren't there to do things.They're there to explain why things can't be done".
