It is reasonably easy to deal with countries such as Sweden - boycott them - put them on a watch list...they appreciate the tourist dollar and would likely be more accommodating, even if only secretly. In any event, using a stick sometimes if only to show that you have one and will use it, is a useful tool in foreign dimplomacy.

What will we boycott? Volvos and Ikea?

Heck Red China is a million times worse and now they make so much stuff it is impossible to boycott them!

It's actually not a big deal to "overlook" Sweden if you want to travel to Europe. There's nothing much to see in Stockholm save the Wasa Ship (fascinating). They don't even have their stores open on weekends. Booze is costly and it's really...a boring kind of place, IMO.

Been outside of Stockholm too and was not impressed. It's really too quiet for me. Apparently, it's so quiet that it is an easy hiding place for terrorists. YIKES.
