Robin Cook (1946-2005)
I admit, although I'm hard to surprised, this news shocked me.
Robin Cook, former UK foreign secretary and leader in opposition to Iraq War passed yesterday.
In learning about and debating the Iraq war have had occasion to read and promptly disagree with many of Mr. Cook's views on the international stage, but all disagreements aside it was clear that this was a singularly intelligent and influential individual.
A man does not speak with conviction like his merely in an effort to garner popularity, there was clear integrity at work in his words.
I don't know much about British politics, but I do know he will be missed.

Missed by whom?
Those who enjoy freedom but refuse to realize the sacrifices that make it possible?
Cook was a fool. Blair is the only hope for the degenerate labour party in the UK and he'll likely be thrown under the double-decker bus.
