>I wonder what the fellow "peace activists" are thinking now ... . Pissed? Digging their heels in for more "martyrs"? Shocked into reality? What?<
Oh, come now. You know the answer. They're really, really mad that George Bush made the widdle jehadis kill Tom Fox. They blame America, and the bad US military, but most of all...
It's Bush's Fault®!
I have no idea... this is a world I simply don't understand!... I am sure they must be shocked!...and will be even more it the kill that other woman reporter... that would be something.
From their statment on their website(http://www.cpt.org/iraq/response/06-10-03statement.htm):
"In response to Tom’s passing, we ask that everyone set aside inclinations to vilify or demonize others, no matter what they have done. In Tom’s own words: "We reject violence to punish anyone. We ask that there be no retaliation on relatives or property. We forgive those who consider us their enemies. We hope that in loving both friends and enemies and by intervening nonviolently to aid those who are systematically oppressed, we can contribute in some small way to transforming this volatile situation."
Even as we grieve the loss of our beloved colleague, we stand in the light of his strong witness to the power of love and the courage of nonviolence. That light reveals the way out of fear and grief and war."
So they obviously don't get it.
