As a Dutch citizen, I am ashamed our own government's CA was compromised. And I'm a bit angry, because this hardly concerns just us but the entire secure web.

Frankly, I'm hoping for a lot more than just damages.

No, the Dutch root certificates were not compromised, insofar as I am aware.

Root certs for services provided to the Dutch public were compromised as they were distributed through DigiNotar. The Dutch government has entirely different root certificates and it is where they are currently handing out certificates from to fix various different services that were using the DigiNotar certs.
