This article was founded in the LA Times, and as written by the Associative Press.Vaclav Havel, the former president of Czechoslovakia died at the age of seventy five. He was a great playwriter, and with his talent he combined poltics to end communism in Czech Republic. He died Sunday morning at his vacation home, and was the first democratically elected president in Czech. He helped his country breakup peacefully with Slovakia in1993. Even out of office, he did a lot. He was part of the "newEurope", and he stood up for U.S. when it launched its attack on Iraq in 2003. He was also credited with laying the groundwork that brought Czech Repiblic into the twenty seven nation bloc.
It is sad that such a respected man died at such a young age. He did so much for his country, and he is barely even credited for it. He should be a well respected man, because his excellence helped his country become a democratic nation. If it was not for him, Czech Republic would be in a disastrous situation. I think he will recieve a military burial, and that many famous and important political leaders will be present at his funeral. It was also said, that he was a heavy smoker and that is why he passed away. He was not able to breath any longer. A death because of smoking is always sad, especially to a political leader.
Hey Aram, this is a very interesting article! I would never expect a former president to be a great playwriter, it sounds like he did a lot of Czechoslovakia, disapointed to see him go, im sure the people will always remember him for everything he has done.
