There are those on this forum who held the US government responsible for the deaths during hurricane Katrina. The policies of governments almost always lead to the deaths of some of their citizines. I was being somewhat sarcastic in what I said. However, it is still the unusual country which hasn't either taken part in a war, executed a prisoner or had a police officer kill a citizen. Killing people is a regulr part of human history and will be into the forseeable future. Killing is not unusual in human history. It is the curelty which is the subject of the law suit.
As to Sweden and the Swedish government: certainly the Swedish government took part in the Napoleonic wars which led to life being lost. The Swedish government chose to remain neutral during WWII and to trade with NAZI Germany and supply them with items which enabled the NAZI war machine to function more efficiently, thus leading to the death of numerous human beings.
Does Sweden have an army?
What is their purpose?
Are they trained to pass out flowers?
Do they have mechanized machines of war?
Are these just show pieces for kiddie rides?
All governments are prepared to kill or they cease to exist.
