NOT QUITE A PARADISE – AT 9:04 P.M. ET:  Remember when the lefties ran around describing Sweden as a paradise?  Ah, those were the days.   Hula hoops.  Tie-dyed jeans.  Jane Fonda sitting on enemy AA guns.  And Sweden was this wonderful place always at peace, always happy.

Yeah, right.

As a Swedish editor once told me, half of Stockholm was taking care of the other half of Stockholm.  But we weren't supposed to know.

Now Sweden is in serious trouble.  Like many countries in Europe, it embarked on a crazed mission to take in far too many "refugees," many of whom hate their new country.  From the London Times: 

The blast was so powerful that it shook windows a mile away. Ahmad’s first thought was that someone had thrown yet another bomb at the police.

He was right. On Wednesday night an explosive device was hurled at the police station in Rosengard, a troubled area of Malmo, Sweden’s third largest city.

Attacks on the police are increasingly frequent. Rosengard’s force works from a black fortress of reinforced concrete with narrow windows and a 10ft-high electric fence.

“I knew it was a bomb again,” said Ahmad, 53, who lives in the area with his wife and their four teenage children.

COMMENT:  In some areas of Sweden, firemen can't answer a fire call without a police escort.  Extremist groups are demanding changes in the schools to eliminate certain topics, like the Holocaust.  Sweden's nutty multicultural experiment is failing rapidly.  The Swedish experience is being repeated all over liberal Western Europe.  Instead of a thoughtful immigration policy, Sweden went hard left, and paid the usual price that the hard left extracts.
