Vaclav Havel

[Drejk]

Vaclav Havel died yesterday.

Observes a moment of silence for a good man

His passing is sad enough but it is made worse because it will be overshadowed by Kim Jong-il's death.

Sad news indeed.

He made honor to the political profession. Here was a selfless man of state who did great and previously thought impossible things.

Good luck to current and future czech politicians! They will have a hard time measuring up to him.
