Boycott light

All over the world, voices are raised in favour of boycotting the olympic games in Beijing. Today, Tomas Bodström - former Swedish minister of law - suggested a "light boycott": Sweden ought to boycott the inauguration as well as the closing cermony.

However, the current Swedish government wants no such thing. "Boycott is not a good instrument" says Swedish minister of sports Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth.

Thruth is, we Swedish lack guts. We did not stand up to Nazi Germany and now we are afraid to offend the Chinese communist regime.

I strongly believe it's time to make a stand. It's time for real politics.
