I have to admit that I find a lot of the comments in remarkably bad taste. It reminds me of a thread I saw at the DU one time where they were making fun of Barbara Olsen.

Don't you think there's a teensy difference between a woman on a hijacked plane riding to her death on September 11, on the one hand, and an America-hating terrorist lover who travels to the Gaza Strip to stop Israeli soldiers from destroying weapon-smuggling tunnels from Egypt?

Take your time. You can think about it if you want.

Yes, there's a lot of difference. That wasn't my point. And I have to admit that some of the posts made me laugh. I guess the only point I was making is that we should behave better than the DUmmies. That's all.

"Do they deserve sympathy? Or a retroactive sentence for child abuse? "

Sympathy? Perhaps not. Compassion, yes, in my opinion, or perhaps empathy. I suppose they are now serving a retroactive life sentence for their ignorance, if not for child abuse. After all, they no longer have their child. I just don't see anything to be gained from laughing at their pain. There are plenty of others whose "pain" is far more deserving of our laughter and contempt. Think Howard Dean and John Kerry....pretty much the entire RAT party for that matter.
