"With passion for her cause and an unbridled capacity for having fun, she was remembered as a force of nature, a cross between Mother Teresa and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, said Quill Lawrence, a radio reporter for the British Broadcasting Corp."
Apparently she has been canonized by the liberal media as Saint Marla, patron of anti-American activists.
May she rest in pieces.
This is a joke comparing this women to Mother Theresa, If Mother Theresa had lived in Iraq under Saddam she would have been imprisoned and/or executed.
This USA hating hag would have and indeed probably did collaberate with the "Butcher of Baghdad".
Sean Penn: Ruzicka was his hero
Tells me all I need to know about her.
It is obvious that, despite the proclaimed purpose of her "mission," she did not believe that Iraq would be overly dangerous for civilians, even while being invaded by American forces. Indeed, it wasn't our forces who killed her--it was those on whose behalf she was trying to generate propaganda.
I'm sorry she died. Somehow, I doubt she could see what a remarkable success the Iraq war has been in the area of civilian casualties. She must have read stories like this (http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0107-09.htm )and never bothered to check the facts. The source is clearly Leftist, but the estimates themselves were leaked by the U.N.
Don't let the anti-Americans raise the bar of success. The world was expecting Armageddon, remember?
Burp
Yes and I hear she's a lock to win the "2005 Rachael Corrie give you life for stupidity Award"
>more than 600 mourners
Wow, a whole 600! There were at least that many here in town for a local cop that got shot in the line of duty and most of those were his family, the rest were friends and fellow officers. Sounds like most of the people at this activist's funeral were MSM types.
Welcome to "Corrie's Club"!
Presumably only those killed by Americans and the coalition. She certainly didn't seem to care much about those killed by Saddam, nor by the Jihadies since Saddam's fall. How ironic that she probably would not have counted her own death.
Here's my message to Marla Ruzicka as she departs this world: "AMF!"
