So, now we, the Swedish people have received an answer to the question why Sweden has to participate in Nato's military actions in Libya (sorry for the earlier misspelling!). Sweden has to follow Nato, because Sweden is not member of Nato... A paradox? Well, listen to his: Sweden has signed a one party agreement that we will help other European countries if they promise to help us if there were any military risks. Kind of: I wash your hand if you wash mine. According to the Swedish papers, and foreign minister Carl Bildt, is this the reason why we cannot say no to engage in Libya. Problem is: as far as I know there is no European country actually threatened by the libyan government, is it?
So, once more, why do we have to participate?
It is even told that Germanys membership in Nato gives them the right to put themselves outside this mitlitary engagement, just because they already ARE member of Nato and therefore already are secured in case of military threats. We have to fight for our security... Luckily, next week Rasmussen, Nato's generalsecretary will visit Sweden. I am not going to be surprised if we receive another invitaion to join Nato. Of course... we have to defend our country from non existing threats. Oh, sorry, no, there actually ARE threats now. At least after having been put in the middle of a military mission in northafrica.
