(Editor's note: On March 16, 2003, 23-year-old Rachel Corrie died in a bulldozer accident in the Gaza town of Rafah.)
Today is the first anniversary of Rachel Corrie's death. I want to thank Corrie for the explosives that flow freely from Egypt to Gaza, via the smuggling tunnels under the Gaza homes that she died defending.
Perhaps it was these explosives that in the year since her martyrdom--oops, death--have been strapped around suicide bombers to blow up city buses and restaurants in Israeli cities, particularly in Jerusalem, killing men, women and schoolchildren (two of them classmates of my daughter and her friend in the February 22, 2004 bombing) and leaving hundreds more widows, orphans and bereaved parents.

Now we move on to more pressing concerns! Could we say she was just spreading herself too thin?

Yes, but she wanted to get the skinny on the Palestinian cause and she got it!

Tribute my ***.
The girl was a loser. A loser, and I am not really that sorry that she is dead, either. I don't care if people are offended by that statement, but I'm not sorry that she is.
I saw pics of her burning the American and Israeli flags, and that was just disgusting. So many Americans have died under her flag, and that little collectivist had the nerve to burn it.
She was just another upper-class white liberal who felt "guilty" about her privileged lifestyle, so she felt that she had to go "make a difference" in the Middle East.
Do we need "Caution! Bulldozer" signs around?
By the way, did anyone ever nominate her for a Darwin Award?
Again, sorry if this post offended anyone.
