Vissa upphör aldrig att säga motbjudande saker. Jan Myrdal är deras kung.
Vid en föreläsning i lördags, bara ett dygn innan två svenska soldater dödades i Afghanistan, sade han att han i ”sitt djupaste inre ansåg att den enda gode utländske soldaten på afghansk jord är en död soldat”.
The Local har storyn:
Swedish author and anti-war activist Jan Myrdal,
82, has sparked outrage following a public lecture in which he appeared
to welcome the killing of Swedish, US and other soldiers.”My anger is so strong that I can feel the taste of blood in my mouth when I see TV pictures of US marines, Swedish mercenaries or Nato soldiers in Afghanistan, ” he told an audience at St Xavier’s College in Mumbai, India.
”And my deepest personal feeling then is that the only good foreign soldier on Afghan soil is a dead one.”
The comments were made on Saturday, a day before two Swedish soldiers
were shot dead by an attacker disguised as a police officer, when they
were patrolling in northern Afghanistan.
