She has done pretty well.

Confirmation on Israeli's bombing Palestinian foreign ministry for the second time, which result is that there is much more damage and the building has been virtually destroyed.

Notice that when she asked David Miller why they bombed so late...he answered "to cut down on collateral damage"..meaning I guess, deaths to any innocent citizens.

Gosh...when I hear our TV people sitting a complaining all day about how much we are paying for gas...

And then we see scenes from bombings...I wonder if some of them have THEIR lives in the proper perspective.
