Belgium should become two countries in a velvet divorce.
Times: Cupid's wicked arrow splits Belgium : "HE IS a senior conservative politician, she a young Socialist MP, but it is not only a political clash of allegiances that has turned the love affair between Hendrik Daems and Sophie Pécriaux into such a big scandal in Belgium.

Nor was it the announcement by Daems, 46, that he is divorcing the mother of his five-year-old daughter and having a child by Pécriaux, 38. Their greater crime — strange as it may seem in 21st-century Europe — was loving across a cultural divide between Flemings and Walloons. Daems paid for it last week with his job."

Brussels should become, like Wash. DC., outside the "states" of Wallonia and Flanders; with Brussels, Belgium should become 3 states.

And push Brussels to be more English-speaking.
