The Dutch 9/11

According to Jozias van Aartsen, chief whip of the Liberal Party (which is a right-wing party), the 2nd of November was the Dutch equivalent of the attack on the World Trade Center.
Although the loss of life in the USA was a lot larger from a numerical point of view, I can't say it's an unwarranted comparison.
If someone dies as the result of an accident it's tragic. But if someone is murdered, not for what he is but for what he represents, as was the case both in NYC and in Amsterdam, it is a disaster, for it is the entire country that is attacked by proxy.
