Sir, - Last time that someone from the Netherlands began meddling in Ireland, the disastrous victory of William of Orange at the Battle of the Boyne, launched over two centuries of foreign imperial domination. The no less virulent, and equally arrogant, cultural and moral imperialism represented by the Au- rora expedition makes it easier to understand the apprehensions that led the Irish people to reject the European Union's proposed Treaty of Nice last week. - Yours, etc.,
T. Rectenwald, Pristina, Kosovo.
