I understand the high emotions involved and like many fellow posters I have friends in Israel and family stationed in Kuwait. The sheer ignorance and reprehensible actions of many on the left make my blood boil.

I view FR as opportunity to influence the true undecideds in the great political landscape. Our debate threads and how they are conducted may not change the views of the participants but can have a significant effect on the lurkers out there who are looking for reasons to believe in the conservative cause. I would hope that potential lurkers would come away from FR with the idea that conservatives value human life even though lethal actions must sometimes be taken to defend it.

I value INNOCENT human life. Injecting yourself into one side of a war (and on the side that DELIBERATELY targets civilians) removes that qualifier.

I am curious. Would you laugh at a political cartoon making light of that Al Qaeda big who got wasted by the Predator drone in Yemen?

To be honest, I'm at mental war with myself here. On the one hand a young woman was killed in an accident, if of her own making.... On the other hand, she was actively supporting and protecting terrorists, which puts her pretty close to the line of being a terrorist herself.

If she had been hit by a car, while standing on an American street corner, waving a sign, that would have been one thing. But this.... When a terrorist dies without harming anyone else, that's a good thing, IMO. When they do so in a stupid way, well... let's just say the humor potential is there.

There may be a karmic cost -- there certainly seems to have been with her -- but I can't help but feel some small, marginal relief that one more person like this is dead.
