csdenmark Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 These days it is 20 years since the swedish prime minister Olof Palme was assassinated. The crime has not yet been solved. I think all scandinavians took pride in Olof Palme no matter they agreed his polical project(Folkhemmet) or not. He was our shining star. The man who believed it really made a difference whether he speaked up or not. He speaked on behalf of those who was deprived the ability to do so themselves. And it made a difference and he is still today the personality of Scandinavia. http://www.sweden.se/upload/Sweden_se/english/factsheets/SI/portraits/Palme/Swedish_prime_minister_Palme.jpg Maybe you like me have wondered the reason why great personalities seems to fall victim of crimes. Oh yes I understand perfectly well such persons have many enemies. But why do enemies commit crimes in a way their victims are catapulted to martyrians and immortal. That is what I don't understand. Olof Palme was not the only one - other names for such; yes we all know them. John F.
