Freedom on the march
From Professor Timothy Garton Ash's essay "Europe's true stories":
Europe's history over the last 65 years is a story of the spread of freedom. In 1942, there were only four perilously free countries in Europe: Britain, Switzerland, Sweden, Ireland.Can anyone think of a fifth?

It's understandable, I suppose. Switzerland, Sweden, and Ireland stand out for being non-aligned and Britain is the author's own country.

I guess I haven't said anything particularly controversial yet. The link you posted on Finland for Thought brought over readers, at least.
