There is a challenge here to name some nation whose foreign policy isn't
essentially self-serving.  I just finished an article in the November
Harper's by some journalists who reported on, among other things, what
it's like inside of an African National Congress settlement in Tanzania.
(Interesting, a little frightening; check it out.)

Almost all of ANC's military aid is from the Soviet Union.  But most of
their economic aid is from--Sweden and Norway.  What stake do Sweden and
Norway have in the overthrow of the apartheid regime?  None that I can see.
If someone does have some idea, I'd like to hear it.

Possibly--just possibly--these Scandinavian governments, supported by their
peoples, look on South Africa for what it is: a slave state, one which is
rather tame by comparison to the USSR.
