It must be quite fitting that within twenty four hours we have learned of the passing of both Vaclav Havel, one of the people most responsible for the fall of Communism and that of Kim Jong Il, the last remaining Stalinist despot on Earth. Mr Havel we will genuinely miss as an inspiration to follow in doing what is morally right and to reject both tyranny and violence. Mr Kim however will be sorely missed more for his hairstyle and oversized glasses than for his leadership of North Korea, under which millions have been starved to their deaths.
