Glad to see this lawsuit thrown out.

How ridiculous to sue the maker of the bulldozer in this case. Rachel Corrie foolishly tried to be a human blockade of a bulldozer and was killed. So, the parents decide to sue the bulldozer manufacturer. It’s tough to talk about since she’s dead, but Rachel Corrie had such “compassion” if that’s the word for Palestianians fighting alleged human rights violations by Israel, and apparently zero compassion for the victims of September 11th, or victims of terror in general. She was very selective in her outrage about the state of the world.

The stupidity is even more spectacular.

According to various reports, she was playing "chicken" with the bulldozers all day long, jumping out of the way at the last split second. On the final "chicken" run, she miscalculated and tripped over a pile of dirt just as the shovel was emptying a load of debris and rebar.

My impression of Corrie is that she was a young woman who became, 1st indoctrinated and foolishly, idealisticaly, mesmorized by a bunch of marxist educators in this country...then bought whole sale into their rhetoric and propoganda and went to the Mid East where she met her fate in the very real, and ugly world created by the PLA, Hamas, and other terrorist organizations that want to enlist people like her (through their marxist enablers in this country) to be their cannon fodder.

...and that is exactly what she became.

? Tragic for her family...but she was an adult that made her choices and then had to experience the harsh consequences.

As a parent and grandparent myself, I feel for her parents...but they should grieve honorably and not wear it on their sleave...and let their girl, who has now gone the way of all the world and left these cares behind, rest in whatever peace she can.
