		<description>The main concern now is Finnish NATO membership (and Swedish, even more so), which the US should oppose, as it doesn&#039;t help at all to have yet another non-performing, freeriding, welfare-statist &quot;ally&quot; to influence NATO decision-making.

Finnish political influence in the UN and the third world must also be opposed, because of the immense damage it does to the developing world:  freeriderism should not be presented as a viable option, even though Finns still think it is.</description>

		<description>Considering the threat Finland poses to U.S. A finnish diplomat visited some U.S ex-president, I don&#039;t remember, was it Carter or Bush Sr. In the end of the conversation he asked, &quot;Sir, while in office, did you ever made a decision concerning Finland? The president thought for a moment, &quot;Yes, once I think...Noo, it was Norway.

I think the americans let us hear, if we really are such a pain in their asses. Meanwhile let&#039;s relax.</description>

		<description>Yes, because the Finns hate the US so much, the immediate American reaction was to vote for Bush. So there, evil Finns!</description>

		<description>Considering that evil, freeriding Finland, a satellite state of the Franco-German, welfare-statist axis, which created the main intellectual foundations of anti-Americanism, which wound up inspiring the Muslim terrorists who were looking for justifications to attack America, resulting in 9/11, the notion of Finnish culpability is not entirely unfounded.

If you hate a country, as much as the Finns hate the US... you will get a reaction.  So why be so surprised when it happens?</description>
