"I did feel sorry for Rachel Corrie when I dropped in to her memorial service. She was young and fragile, but her mind had been vulnerable to destructive ideas. As I looked around the room, I realized that The Evergreen State College has a few things to do with Rachel Corrie's death. A feeling of rage welled up within me. Destructive ideas have destructive consequences.
The radical ideologies espoused every day at The Evergreen State College are of every nasty branch of extremism. Anti-Americanism. Anti-God. Anti-life. Anti-Israel. Anti-capitalism. Anti-tradition. One course description paints the American founding fathers as advocates of "injustice". Another course claims "non-violent resistance" as the preferable route to change. A course entitled "Engaging Cuba: Uncommon Approaches to the Common Good" glorifies Fidel Castro and his communist regime as a success in human government."
Ding, ding, ding! Even if the malicious evil bulldozer driver had targetted her, she still could have just stepped out of the way.
Sigh....Veronica, please next time post a double bagger barf warning!
What a pile of BS that statement is! The U.S. gov't DOES look into the deaths of Americnas overseas when they believe that the American in question might have been unjustly killed. Rachel Corrie was NOT murdered. Last I'd read, the bulldozer driver was unable to see her. The U.S. gov't also recognizes that pure stupidity on the part of the deceased is no reason to launch an investigation.
Peobable outcome after the Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance took her to to Martyr Mohammed Yousef An Najar Hospital
