As for myself, I'll save my own morbid sense of humor to the death of people like Bin Laden and his kind.

To some people, she will be viewed as an enabler of people like Bin Laden and Arafat. She made the decision to interfer in another nation's self preservation against terroism. I was taking it easy on her in my previous post. But if you want to defend her, go ahead my friend.

If she got in the way of our troops in the ME, would you defend her actions? If she got in the way of law enforcement making an arrest, would you defend her actions? She had no business being there, and she knew it. She took the risk, and paid with her life. People make these decisions all the time, usually criminals. Life is nothing but a bunch of decisions and actions that have rewards and consequences. Do I feel sorry for her - not one bit. Do I feel sorry for the dozer operator - you bet. He's gonna have to live with her death, and all he was doing was serving his country.

Bottom line - she was an idiot and had no business being there in the first place.

Please point out in any of my posts where I defended her. My point, and I'll attempt to see if it penetrates again, is that there is something distasteful with any post rejoicing her death. And seeing such posts here don't elevate this site in my opinion. I just told another relative that they need to start coming here. I have done the same thing with a lot of other people. I'd prefer that they did not visit and think that people here rejoice in the death people like this dumb kid.

You ask me "what if" this and "what if" that and then again bring up this "defending her" nonsense. Why do you ask me those questions? They are absurd. Which is absurd as saying, as you did, "Life is nothing but a bunch of decisions and actions that have rewards and consequences". With all due respect, life is much more than that.

If you think there is something joyful/funny in the death of this kid then I really wonder if all your gears are meshing.
