The kid's father did a hunger strike some months ago on the central square in Stockholm. Didn't change anything. The most absurd thing is that during the elections our PM explicitly promised to get the kid back. After the elections he seems to have forgotten it. Oh well, at least they are doing something about it now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pot calling the kettle black comes to mind.<span id='postcolor'> There is a rather large gap between Stingers and Scuds. As for Israel- you may not like it, but a majority of Americans see Israel not only as a strategic ally, but our only real friend in the Mid-East. You may not like it, but then again, tough shit. We aren't selling them weapons to fight our wars for us, we sell them the weapons because they want them and can pay for them. It's called capitalism- welcome to planet Earth, can I get you anything before you head back to where you came from? Besides, that's not why we're pursuing a war with him. If exporting weapons was a reason the US went to war, we'd be engaged in wars with at least 5 of our principal allies, every single one of our enemies, and we'd be fighting a civil war as well.
