 JH> What is it with you foreigners, anyway?

I'm not a foringer, you are.

 JH> What makes you think you've got
 JH> all the fucking answers, hmmm?

Who have said so many times to me that: "we (aka USA) are doing exactly
what we want when we want without asking anyone. Fuck the rest of the
world."?
That must mean that YOU have all the answers and don't bother to ask.
And when I question that you totally freak out.
And who are having a problem with that? You or me?

 JH> Your country doesn't have a tradition of
 JH> military service like ours, you don't live in this country, and you aren't
 JH> in Iraq.  Where do you get off giving us grief when you haven't got the
 JH> guts to be there helping in the fight against world terrorism?

Sweden is such a big marionette to USA. We have done everythig you have
ask from us. We have sent those 2 "terrorists" to Egypt. We still have
innocent people on your blacklist. We have had a prisoner at Gantanamo
that didn't get his conviction and not even have been charegd with a crime
for over 2 years. What more can we do to please your Highness exept from
participate in a war that we don't believe in?

 JH> Yes, we're combat vets.  Most of us have been shot at and have had to
 JH> shoot at other human beings.  That soldier didn't personally want to shoot
 JH> anybody.  If he was given a no-fault choice he would opt to go home I'm
 JH> sure.  But he volunteered for military service.  He took an oath to serve
 JH> his country, but more importantly, his is there helping to free the Iraqi
 JH> people.  When he goes into combat he is fighting first for his comrades -
 JH> his squad mates - then for his country.  Everything he does is based on
 JH> the training he got and is intended to protect himself and his buddies so
 JH> that they can complete their mission.  He had no desire to shoot that
 JH> goddamn terrorist, but the alternative was to expose his whole squad to
 JH> potential death.  He did the right thing, whether YOU like it or not.

And who is having all the answers to this?
It's no point me saying anythig since he did the right thing wheter I like it
or
not. It's not even open for discussion.

 JH> When was the last time you put your ass on the line for your country, eh,
 JH> Bjorn?  When was the last time you were in danger of being shot or blown
 JH> up by some terrorist thug playing dead?  You got no room to criticize the
 JH> US, or that soldier, because you don't have the balls to stand up for
 JH> something larger than yourself.

I haven't done it because no one haven't come here to fight with me and I'm
not seeking a war with anyone. Whatever is happening in Norway, USA or in
Iraq, it's up to the people in that country do deal with it. But be sure I will
defend
my country if someone would come here and try to invade it, just like any other
citizen in any other country. You can count on that.
And besides, what is larger than USA that you have to stand up for?
