Sometimes I actually get to be proud. The mayor of my town, Södertälje, spoke yesterday in the US Congress (!!) about how our town has accepted more Iraqi refugees than the US and Canada together and there is increasing difficulty in finding jobs, homes and money to help these people.

You can see the speech here: http://svt.se/play?a=1111032

If you can forgive his horrible, horrible English you'll hear some interesting things about my town.

The Washington Post writes about it here:
