    It was hardly a very heroic stance to take on Finland's part, was it? I mean the mild acquiescence towards a regime that was behaving appallingly in the Eastern Bloc nations.

    It was a realistic stance. Let the Eastern Bloc nations take care of their own countries and we take care of our own. We have never claimed to have saved the whole world.
