Where Have All The Flowers Gone?

Hmmm.

Aldo Moro (1978), Olaf Palme (1986), Pim Fortuyn (2002), Zoran Djindjic, et. al., (1914 and counting), and now Anna Lindh.

Those cowboy Europeans. When will they learn from their more sophisticated American cousins?

The crazed, gun-totin' Yanks, after all, haven't had any major political assassinations since 1968. (MLK and Bobby Kennedy, if I have to jog your memory.)

That even beats their nicenik neighbors, the Canadians, who last boasted a murdered politician -- Pierre Laporte -- in 1970.

Hmmm. Suddenly the world no longer makes sense.
