I see we've done our Social Democratic homework, Krop. Soon you'll be telling us we don't appreciate a bunch of crap piles as a fitting memorial to Raoul Wallenberg because we're petty burgeoise..."The number of political murders was a little under one million (800,000 - 900,000)." - chegitz guevara on the history of the USSR.
"I think the real figures probably are about a million or less." - David Irving on the number of Holocaust victims. -
What makes the Sweden's situation so different than that of West Germany or Italy, two strong members of NATO?
Edit: moomin, that's gratuitous.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Well one could argue that in case of overt NATO membership, the Social Democratic Conspiracy might have been driven to acts of desperation, launching MIRVs filled with crapola art."On this ship you'll refer to me as idiot, not you captain!"

It's called the Poophole Loophole."Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self." - Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the U. S. presidency

Well, Germany and Italy was part of the war and was thus also part of the restructuring of Europe after the war. There was not however the case that everything that happend there wasn't potentianlly 'destabilising', just look at Berlin.
Sweden was neutral during the war and have a long tradition of non-alignment. At the same time many argued that due to Finlands situation sweden should keep a neutral line. As probably most finns here can tell us better than I Finland had quite a unpleasant security situation after the war. The reasons for the Swedish unaligment was more or less offically that if Sweden joined nato it might mean that the russian bear would feel the need to take some steps to 'protect' Finland.
This is the 'official' version. One could argue that a) the scenario wouldn't happen or b) this wasn't the real reason. Whatever, from the perspective of the swedish goverment it would seem reasonable to keep a straight line and not join either side.
What moomin likes to do is to turn history, that's something complex and gray and turn it around to fit his political views of the world of black and white. I argue that joining nato would be a risk and at the same side quite pointless. Joining a military alliance is and should be the best choice from a regional security perspective not because out of a desire to start a crusade to free the world from communism.Comment

Moomin's a hater.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment
