Was it as they say, for non-political reasons? Did a tall, Swedish-looking man wearing an army camouflage jacket suddenly, for no reason, decide to take the life of Sweden's foreign minister Anna Lindh?.

Perhaps this will be the case. However, considering the mounting tension and intrigue being generated by Europe's swiftly approaching final phase of reunification, Anna's mysterious murder does make one wonder.

You see, Europe was uniting and Anna was representing her country -- Sweden -- at the center of it all. Besides advocating Sweden's entry in the Euro, Anna was attempting to lead Sweden away from her long history of neutrality and in the direction of NATO's military alliance.

 As I thought about Anna's desire for Sweden to become more open to the idea of NATO, I recalled America's war against terror. Part of the war called for help from the international community by providing financial information for the purpose of freezing funds that could be used by terrorist organizations. In other words, if Sweden wanted to do her part in the war against terror, Sweden's neutrality would have to go out the window.

Like I said, Anna was at the center of it all. And this brings up a good question. Could Anna's sudden and unexpected death have an effect on the shape of the new Europe?

This is what I think: As far as her historic neutrality is concerned, Sweden is standing at the cross-roads. And, what ever direction Sweden decides to take, it could very well have long lasting implications to the future shape of Europe.

For example: As I've been reporting here at FulfilledProphecy.Com, one big question left open is whether the EU's new military command will end up inside NATO as Britain and other pro-Americans nations want, or outside NATO as certain anti-American nations want?

Anna, evidently, was in the pro-American camp on this issue. She wanted the EU's military command kept inside NATO (Read about it here).

Unfortunately, now Anna is dead. They say she was killed by a tall, Swedish-looking man wearing an army camouflage jacket. They don't think his reasons were policital. They say he got away.

As I said, it does make one wonder.
