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.

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.
