"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C.S. Lewis

Blog Sweden

"Antiwar fatigue in Sweden could stem from any number of things. Perhaps it is a repudiation of tired sixties relics whose stubborn infatuation with brutal communist thugs and dictators has repulsed saner elements of the Left. Or maybe the movement simply died out because its scruffy, rock-hurling hooligans, their lives no longer suffused with animus for the American warmongers and imperialists, have moved on to a new venue for violence. One would hope, though, that the dearth of demonstrators means that people have realized that freedom is an inalienable right for everyone–not just pompous scholars and NATO parasites. Linderborg’s portrait of a hard core of enlightened '68ers who, dumfounded, can’t understand why everybody else doesn’t think like they do reveals a woman in thrall to classic intellectual elitism. "If only you knew what we know" is her leitmotif."

Scandinavia, present and accounted for. The Stockholm Spectator has been added to the Prairie Fire blogroll under the Europe heading.
