A real hero of mine, a fighter for & defender of freedom, uncorrupt & uncorruptable, a man who went to jail many times for saying what others were thinking but were too afraid to do anything about & above all a real gentleman. I'm lucky enough to be able to live here in the Czech Republic because of him & other dissidents like him who kept reminding the world of what was happening behind the iron curtain. I can't think of any other politician (a term he never used to describe himself) who I respect & like as much as him. A real loss for the world, not just the Czech Republic.
RIP Václav Havel
