Robin Cook: Sad news
Robin Cook, U.K. forign secretary died yesterday 
We all over Asia saw the gentleman giving a such awe'some speach while resigning his post before Iraq War. Standing firm on not to go for war, and he seems helpless since Tony had made his mind, so he took his final option to resign. I was working with a company in India, I was so much impressed by his speech and the way he conveyed his opposition to the war. The next day at office we exchanged mail w/ each other and talking almost the day about what he has done and why Mr. Tony is going for war.
I have Mr. Robin's speech in my person folder at my home. I couldn't get it here.
I am not sure how many (youngsters) have heard his speeach or his proceedings in Parliament. But I am sure elders will laud his contibution to the U.K. Society as a whole.
Though they may be winning the sports, Its a great loss for the U.K. Politically.

When someone dies who is well known then chances are it's on the news and it comes up for discussion. That's life.
And life goes on.
No worries
