Sorry Sarasmom, my post abowe was supposed to go to you to, I was just noticing my error.
Iceland ciding with the US in Cold War, and before that the WW2 was mostly my party´s doing, the Independence Party. If the Communists had had their way, we would have got an Soviet military base. Most of them have newer conseded to this, but their propaganda and protests against the US base was to get rid of it, of course to be able to replace it with a soviet one. But long after the disapearence of the Soviet base they are still protesting it, some on a ground of pacifism, others to replace it with a future EU forces.
Iceland population is only 300,000?
