Belgian forces are involved in Bosnia. The amount of forces etc are 
determinded by NATO and not by Belgium.

As for the Black Granite Walls... Yes, we have them, and there are many 
of those. As I said in my previous mail: one part of Belgium has 
thousands of graveyards with British soldiers and as many with Belgian 
soldiers. You really need to come over to see and see it for yourself. 
I'm afraid we have more names in walls than any other country. :-(
We've confronted with the results of the second world war on a daily 
basis. Some weeks ago, in my city, they had to close the train station 
because during the works, they suddenly found another bomb from the 
second world war. This happens all the time. I really makes one think 
more about life, war,...
