[Hydr0matic]

Yesterday our foreign minister Anna Lindh was stabbed in a mall. She past away this morning. She was one of swedens best politicians and an amazing person, friend and mother. She will be missed.

interesting no one had much to say about this, but if Bush was stabbed, the thread would have run several pages!

i hadn't heard much about her, but from the articles you reference, she had quite a good reputation...perhaps one day America will allow more female leaders and we will see where our country goes

I hope they'll start attaching security personel to
public officials from now on. I mean their president
was also murdered cause he was, at that time, without
protection. It's admirable, but unfortunately it seems
reality is not. I know it doesn't really matter at this
stage but I hope that it wasn't just because of her political
views, I mean it's really awful to commit a murder just because
you don't want to use Euros or some other petty problem like that.

Peace and long life.

Looks like the murderers got what they wished for...

Newspapers here were reporting a 1% lead for the Pro-Euros this morning. Things just didn't turn out that way, I guess.
