The Resume

    (June 19, 1957-September 11, 2003)
    Born in Enskede, Sweden
    Birth name was Ylva Anna Maria Lindh
    Swedish Minister for the Environment (1994-98)

    Assassinated at age 46 while shopping in the ladies' section of a Stockholm department store

Why she might be annoying:

    Her outspokenness made her a target for political opponents.
    She believed the Middle East crisis was the fault of ALL key players - the U.S., Israel and Palestine.
    Her taking on the conflict between the Kosovo liberation army and Serbian forces may have led to her murder.
    She was primed to become Prime Minister of Sweden and never got the chance.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was an environmentalist long before Al Gore became interested.
    She appealed to the masses and spoke her mind, once calling George Bush 'The Lone Ranger' for his war on Iraq.
    A mentally unbalanced Serb stabbed her nine times in the chest, stomach and arms.
    She was operated on for nine hours and improved slightly, but complications ender her life and left her two boys without a mother.
    In 2004 she posthumously won the 'Statesman of the Year Award' by the EastWest Institute and a meeting room was named in her honor.
