In honour of the future victims of Swedish-made weapons

Before the war against Iraq, Sweden sold weapons to the USA for 2,2 milliard. Today its 5,3 milliard. So some companies, its investors and employees are benefiting very much of a war in Iraq.

The fact that it is against Swedish law to sell weapons to countries in war seem to have been an issue that the government see as not important. Its new times and new rules. Times when Sweden has openly become among the nations that sacrifices other nations people for its own economical benefit.
