"For one thing, she was naive about her own infallibility."
Please spare me from the "do gooders". What they actually are, are disaster facilitators. They ALWAYS make things worse and then they just waltz away leaving death and destruction in their little weenie wakes.
"Activist", code word for anti-American commie traitors.
So does anyone keep track of the civilians killed by the terrorists? Such as Ruzicka, for one?
That, of course, could not be used to besmirch the United States, but I'm sure her friends are honest enough to provide those figures as well. Right?
As far as naive commie dogoodism she's a 9 out of 10. May her soul rest in peace. Sometimes the dogooders help keep us honest. I got no problems with her. I'll bet a lot of our boys over there saw her as babelicious with the peacenik stuff only adding to her allure
It's a fact, sad though it is, that when your country is at war innocents will die. On the one hand groups such as this can offer aid and maybe should be admired for doing so, but putting all of the blame on America seems to always be part of it.
"The U.S. military does not keep track of Iraqi civilians killed by its soldiers, leaving the task of counting the civilian dead to nonprofit and advocacy groups such as Ruzicka's."
And that task is needed why? (That's a rhetorical question). No doubt a good heart but so naive. God rest her soul.
I dont recall a foundation set up for the missionaries that were slaughtered in the Philipines, or the nuns murdered by the Sandinista's. Only liberals can be martyrs because followers have to elevate their status to justify what was from begining to end just a dumb idea.
[...the plight of civilians wounded or killed by American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan]
What about the plight of more than 400,000 civilians killed by Saddam Hussein in genocide that was stopped by the US led coalition. If you people were intellectually honest you would highlight that.

Isn't Medea Commandant of "Code Pinko's"?
What about the number of civilians killed and executed by the Taliban? Of the statements posted in various threads by this "activist" and her crew, I haven't seen criticisms of the taliban or the insurgents in Iraq.
She and her comrades would have protested that civilian casualities in Germany were unacceptable and that fiends must be allowed to stay in power. Millions of innocents may die at the hands of tyrants, but that is merely the good price of peace.
For these people:
Dachau, Khmer Rouge killing fields, Iraqi mass graves, Stalinist purges... all are "acceptable" and should not be resisted by force.

You good!
Well... one good thing is the shrapnel she took might have saved one of those innocent Iraqis she was so concerned about.
Actually, they're only concerned with attacks by US forces. So her death, the death of her driver and other Iraqis killed/injured in this attack. Well....they don't count.
I feel about as bad about this morons death as I did about Rachel Corries. That is to say, not too bad at all.
