Vaclav Klaus is currently the presendent of the Czech Republic, but no one, not even he himself, I suspect, would call Klaus a "freedom fighter.' Havel certainly was, and the analogy with Yoanni Sanchez is good for another reason as well: both Sanchez and Havel are good writers, a quality that gives them the power to stand out among their peers.Paul Wilsonhttp://paulwilson.canoreply@blogger.com
