I don't think that folk anywhere are better than some other people elsewhere
when thinking of stuff that happens outside their backyard. People are quite
same. Only diffirence is, that US as a nation is capable of doing stuff that
other nations can't and we're being hypocrit when blaming them. We would do
the same thing, if we were capable. Haven't you noticed that every nation has
done so before when they have been in position to do so. We aren't better just
because we are too small to protect our interests same way.
There are events in history where Finland or Sweden (and any other country
too) has made questionable decisions when protecting their interests. For
example Finland allying with Nazi-Germany, Sweden being Neutral the whole WW2,
not helping Finland in winter war nor Norway in WW2. That's how wise we are, i
challenge anyone to tell country which hasn't done anything questionable to
protect itself or its interest, if there has been possibility to do so.

Mhvi, what you speak of is in the past...this is not today's Finland or
Sweden. You speak as if it were the Swedish people today who did not help
Finland in the winter war or the mud players from Finland were the ones
fighting with the Nazis. If anyone judges you for the past then they are
uneducated morons. As for protecting the national interests...if not done
correctly it looks so much like might makes right. Peace.
