Sweden Ranks Second in the World in Per Capita Weapons Exports
http://www.democracynow.org/2008/12/9/sweden_ranks_seco...world

Institutions like the Nobel Prize have helped link Sweden's
international reputation to peace and reconciliation, but few people
know Sweden is also one of the world's top exporters of weapons.
Sweden is among the world's top arms exporters in per capita terms.
Its clients include the United States and Britain, with shipments more
than doubling since 2000.

We speak with two plowshares activists in Sweden. Annika Spalde,
Activist with the Avrusta ("disarm" in Swedish), which aims to stop
Swedish arms exports to countries violating human rights. And Cattis
Laska, Activist with the Swedish Christian peace network, Ofog.
