Yes, he was a liberal Democrat on domestic issues, but he was a lion on human rights, and very consistent, evenhanded, in his approach. RIP.

Why should I mourn the passing of a socialist politician whose lifes work was dedicated to stealing my money and crapping on my culture at every oppurtunity?
