Just something I stumbled upon.

Politicians use every opportunity they get to say something. They do it so often that nobody really even pays attention anymore. This is something of an exception. It may be the cream of crop or may it just sticks out. Whatever the case, this is the rare occurrence when the talk matters. Basically this speech is the gist our foreign policy. The way we view the world and ourselves is directly influence by the ideas expressed during this speech. Though probably not the first nor the last person to point it out, the Nordic image became our identity. As it is written in 1999, it is a little outdated but interesting to read nonetheless. To all of you who might be fond of a little pice of history and identity.
