    Sigh, the end of a long tradition of neutrality. Very stupid decision on
    of the swedes to abandon a strategy that has saved many swedish lives throughout the ages.

    According to my local news:

    * Being allowed to buy F16 from the us.
    * Being allowed to buy weapons from sweden (has been banned due to human rights abuses).
    * I suspect that perhaps a PKK terrorist or two has been smuggled from
    sweden to turkey. But this would be highly controversial.
    * A promise from swedish politicians never to critizise islam and turkeish human rights violations.

    Then turkey attempted to force sweden to ban burning of the quran and
    critique of islam by law, but the government in sweden cannot do that
    because then the swedish nationalist party would grow to enormous
    proportions, so I think that it will end up being categorised as "racism"
    and you might get a fine if you do it.
