Not that the reporters covering the story are *permitted* to mention it, but this is yet another example of an anti-Iraq-war government being toppled.
"Martin is gone from Canada. Schroeder is gone from Germany. Now the anti-Iraq-War government in Sweden is toppled.
Chirac in France is next.
You just aren't allowed to say the above in print or on the air."
Very true.
Yet, we swedes have in fact worked together with the US in the WOT area. We've sent troops to Afghanistan (and swedish soldiers have been attacked AND killed) and our security service have cooperated a lot with the CIA and other US agencies. In connection to the US operations against Taliban as well as Saddam madness, the former government of Sweden has also declared officially that its standpoint is that "the US has a right to defend itself".
I'm not saying Sweden has done enough and I furthermore oppose the former social democratic-left- green government of Sweden in several areas, but I DO think it's a shame how the attack on the WTC has caused division in the WEST.
The West IS one and should act AS one, defending the open society.
What the HELL! This coming from Sweden, from a Swede! I hope what ever you got is highly contagious, and it sweeps the entire country of Sweden!
By the way, your English is just close to perfect. The only two "mistakes" I saw were that you didn't capitalize "swedes" and "swedish" (we would have). Is that the custom in your country? Just curious.
