Stabbed Swedish minister 'critical'. Monetary union eh? It's a bad thing that people feel so strongly that they have to assassinate a public figure, but at least there is some feeling out there. The 'bread & circus' approach leads to apathy - then those that be can get away with "murder" (metaphorically speaking of course). In 1986 Olof Palme was assinated - I have met one of the suspects.
