Havel was to me the best kind of politician. His great accomplishment in life was not winning elected office or running for it. His great accomplishment was changing his country so much that he could run for office instead. (He needed the help of others to do that, but he made their mutual success possible.)
From what I know of him, seemed to be the definition of “A good man”. Or, at least one of those as close as we can get in this life.
A friend commented that he and K-J-I going on the same day was a case of Yin and Yang.

Not only heard of him, I heard he and Hitch asked St Peter if Kim Il Jong could join them for the last of the three.
