Peace activist Rachel Corrie is shown at the Burning Man festival in a photo from September 2002, in Black Rock City, Nev. Corrie, 23, a student at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash., died Sunday, March 16, 2003, in the Gaza Strip (news - web sites) city of Rafah while trying to stop a bulldozer from tearing down a Palestinian physician's home. A year ago, Craig and Cindy Corrie of Charlotte, N.C., braved the rain to join about 120 others at a major intersection to protest the war in Iraq (news - web sites). The next morning, on March 16, 2003, the Corries received a call from their son-in-law in Washington state, telling them that their 23-year-old daughter, Rachel, had been killed in the Gaza Strip.

Such a friendly-looking soul. Where's that picture showing exactly what she thinks of the country that gave her and her parents such opportunity and prosperity?

I see it hasnt dawned on this couple that they are the problem, teaching their daughter to enter war zones and to fight bulldozers is bad parenting.

Rachel Corrie was no more a "peace activist" than her blood-soaked buddy Yassar...

You want answers?  Your daughter is an idiot, just like her parents.  You taught her to feel instead of think and the ramifications of that were brilliantly played out in front of the home of a homicide bomber in Gaza.  I feel no remorse for your daughter or you.  The only sadness I have is for the brave Israeli bull dozer driver who may be feeling some pangs of guilt.

The question they should be asking is: "How did we go so wrong as to raise a daughter too stupid to get out from in front of a bulldozer? Especially when all the other Palestinians had run away."

"A year ago, on March 15, 2003, about 120 people gathered in the rain at Sharon Amity and Randolph roads to protest the war in Iraq. Among them were Craig and Cindy Corrie, then of Charlotte."

Ugh, so her parents are no better. Apparently this entire family was a tool of militant Islam.

Why are we supposed to feel sorry for these people again?

Rachel Corrie, an activist and "human shield," had been crushed by an Israeli bulldozer as she tried to keep a Palestinian pharmacist's house from being razed.

Isn't that just like you typical college student - staying out all weekend and getting smashed.

Corrie said she's seen part of the official Israeli report on the incident; the report has not been released to the U.S. government. She said it does not reconcile inconsistencies between Israeli accounts and those of other eyewitnesses, and it raises more questions than it answers.

If she thinks that she was handed a gift-wrapped official Israeli report that no one in the US gov't has seen she is a bigger idiot than has been previously suggested. Maybe a report from her friend Yessir.....

a Palestinian pharmacist's

a Palestinian physician's home

reconcile inconsistencies between Israeli accounts and those of other eyewitnesses, and it raises more questions than it answers

Maybe the real inconsistencies begin with the leftist way this whole incident has been portrayed. . .
