Belgrade says goodbye to Zoran Djindjic.

That saying about how no matter what you're going through, someone always has it worse than you is true. I cried reading this article, because I remember so vividly two years ago watching the protests that seemed to galavanize an entire country to change. I wanted to be there so badly my hands would shake while I read the news. It was hope, that things in the world could change, people could rise up against corrupt leaders and effect true and honest change. While it did falter and stumble at times, I believe he was good man at heart.

Godspeed, Zoran Djindjic.

My thoughts exactly.

The news of his assassination Wednesday--though it didn't take me by complete surprise--left me stunned most of the day. So many people I knew had just arrived from Serbia days before. The whole thing is just heartwrenching. I felt terrible having my own emotional breakdown in the midst of the whole matter.
