(Editor's note: On March 16, 2003, 23-year-old Rachel Corrie died in a bulldozer accident in the Gaza town of Rafah.)

Today is the first anniversary of Rachel Corrie's death. I want to thank Corrie for the explosives that flow freely from Egypt to Gaza, via the smuggling tunnels under the Gaza homes that she died defending.

Perhaps it was these explosives that in the year since her martyrdom--oops, death--have been strapped around suicide bombers to blow up city buses and restaurants in Israeli cities, particularly in Jerusalem, killing men, women and schoolchildren (two of them classmates of my daughter and her friend in the February 22, 2004 bombing) and leaving hundreds more widows, orphans and bereaved parents.

A refreshing counterpoint to the liberals' attempts to canonize this "saint."

Even Rachel's friend who was with her at the time of her death blamed her for not getting out of the way properly.

Anyone with the audacity to support homicide bombers and defend them is outright ludicrous. What Rachel Corrie did was not martyrdom, it was looniness.
