Two Deaths...

One that should be mourned, and one that should be greeted with a sigh of relief.
In Turkey Turkish-Armenian author Hrant Dink was murdered outside his office presumably by a nationalist. Dink had been convicted two years ago of "insulting Turkish identity." The reason for his October 2005 conviction? The judge said the statements in the dual language paper Dink edited had implied that Turkish blood was dirty.

The murder is likely to increase political tensions in Turkey, where politicians have been courting the nationalist vote ahead of presidential and parliamentary elections later this year, correspondents say.

While thousands of miles away in a refugee camp in Africa comes a death long overdue. Alice Lakwena founder and spiritual leader of Ugandas's Holy Spirit Movement from which sprang the foul Lord's Resistance Army led by her cousin Joseph Kony. The LRA has spread fear and horror throughout northern Uganda for twenty years and now is holding talks with the government to end their conflict. Hopefully this timely death will only speed the process along.
