Bush neglect of Helsinki not a signal of problems

Though George Bush will be making a trip to Tallinn, Estonia in October, Finnish Prez. Tarja Halonen has said that not taking the 17 minute helicopter trip to visit Helsinki on the same trip (or inviting her to the White House for that matter) does not suggest that there is a break down in relations between Finland and the United States. Said Halonen:

"I am quite happy that nobody has to come here to celebrate that we have been freed from the yoke of communism."
