What does your personal internal paradigm have to do with how we
Americans think our government should act, and what we perceive to be

So you are saying that only you, gold citizens of the almighty US, has
the right to express an opinion. Because I don't see you chastise other
US posters when they express their opinions of other countries.

You seem to have a very thin skin for these dabates. And you seem to
think that this is your toy, for you to play as you wish while the others
must conform to your rules.

That's about as irrelevant
as me telling you how Sweden should be run.

Not at all. What the rest of the world wants is less interference from
the US. As far I can see, Sweden does not interfere with what happens
in other places, but the US does it all the time with deadly
consequences, currently in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Should I be telling everyone on this mailing list that I think Sweden's
form of government is ludicrous and that I long ago lost respect for it,
and its people, because it basically takes 75% of its citizens earnings
as taxes and has created a citizenry that dependent on their government
and sucks off the government's teat rather than being responsible for
themselves?

You just did and not much happened, did it? That's because any Swedish
readers won't lose any sleep over the fact that you don't respect them.
Big deal!
