Peace prize winner 'could kill' Bush Annabelle McDonald 25jul06
NOBEL peace laureate Betty Williams displayed a flash of her feisty Irish spirit yesterday, lashing out at US President George W.Bush during a speech to hundreds of schoolchildren.
Campaigning on the rights of young people at the Earth Dialogues forum, being held in Brisbane, Ms Williams spoke passionately about the deaths of innocent children during wartime, particularly in the Middle East, and lambasted Mr Bush.
"I have a very hard time with this word 'non-violence', because I don't believe that I am non-violent," said Ms Williams, 64.
"Right now, I would love to kill George Bush." Her young audience at the Brisbane City Hall clapped and cheered.
"I don't know how I ever got a Nobel Peace Prize, because when I see children die the anger in me is just beyond belief. It's our duty as human beings, whatever age we are, to become the protectors of human life."
Ms Williams was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize 30 years ago, when she circulated a petition to end violence in Northern Ireland after witnessing British soldiers shoot dead an IRA member who was driving a car. He veered on to the footpath, killing two children from one family instantly and fatally injuring a third.
Ms Williams's petition had tens of thousands of Protestant and Catholic women walking the streets together in protest. Now the former office receptionist heads the World Centres of Compassion for Children International, a non-profit group working to create a political voice for children.
"My job is to tell you their stories," Ms Williams said of a recent trip to Iraq.

So she is against abortion?
I suspect Bill Mahr or some other left-wing kook will soon have her on his/her show...my only hope is that it is a call-in (Brian Lamb and C-Span are you listening) because I will have a lot to say to her!
They became rather famous in the U.K. It was a brave thing to do - a catholic and a protestant working together for peace.
I guess JP will have to be satisfied with sainthood instead.
And a Free Poland.
Amen, my FRiend.
Well, I see that the Nobel Peace Prize is now given out to such peaceful people.
Hey! I have an idea! Why don't we put the Sudan, Lybia, Syria, and Sierra Leone on the UN Human Rights Commission!
Oh wait. They are already there.
Somehow, everyone who claims to be a peace activist is also a lover of totalitarianism. A joke, nothing more.
Don't forget that ultimate appeaser - Jimmuh Carter - who got it only because he speaks out against Bush on foreign soil and he never met a tyrranical dictator he didn't like - good enough for the Nobel Appease Prize!
This woman is a complete and total idiot. She is born from a left sided liberal thinking that can not rationale a true assessment of the world wrongs and who is responsible. Perhaps she should be mailed pictures daily of the dismembered bodies of children from terrorist bombs around the world, Russia (Chechen Muslim Terrorists blow up a school), the US (Plane that hit the Pentagon had 20 youngsters), the middle East (Iraq terrorist bombs, Israel terrorist bombs, terrorists using children in Pali Villages as shields), oh, but Bush kills all the innocent children...I have no time for such ignorance and stupidity..but every now and then the magnitude of such ignorance and stupidity is absolutely stunning.
That was baaaaaad.
And why is she so pi$$ed ag George Bush?
I suspect every Nobel winner. By definition they are wing-nuts.
So what's her screenname over in DUmmyland?
BDS ping
This woman just lost all her moral authority.
Where was she when Israeli children were being blown up by terrorist on buses as they were going to school ??
Where was she when suicide bombers stood next to a baby stroller before blowing everyone around her to pieces??
Where was she when terrorists attacked, took hostage and murdered children in Russia??
Where was she when terrorists below hiself up in the middle of a parade in Russia and murdering 13 children??
Were was she when Saddam tortured and murdered children to get parents to bend to his will??
This women is nothing but a bleeping hypocrite
Why, those children don't count. At least not when there's an opportunity to go on record as wanting to kill the President of the United States of America.
