Learn some history before pointing the finger, buddy.  Try this handy 
timeline, take particular note of the multiple requests for air support 
from the Dutch commander.

(And no, I don't mean to say the Dutch soldiers were blameless, but you 
 should realise they were put in a really tough position.  A paper 
 mandate to protect the civilians, light weaponry and a spineless, 
 disorganised command structure to back it up.)
 
I can recommend some excellent books to read if you want to learn more 
about this conflict.
