STOCKHOLM, Sweden, July 12 (UPI) -- The Swedish Embassy in Damascus
has denied visa applications to a group of Boy Scouts from northern
Beirut who wanted to attend a jamboree in Sweden.

Sveriges Radio said the decision went against the Swedish Foreign
Ministry's request that embassies look favorably on visa applications
from scouts intending to take part in the jamboree, the Swedish
newspaper The Local reported Wednesday.

"I think they are worried that the scouts will arrive in Sweden and
decide to stay here rather than travel back home," Johan Strid, head
of the Swedish scout movement, told Sveriges Radio.

I thought the WOSM and furrin contries were all about diversity and
brotherly love. Guess most of you are mistaken.

Can you imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth had the US Gov't
denied these kids a visa to visit here?
