That's a jejune question. It's not an either/or proposition. We can let her go to judgement without glorifying in her death AND without making her a heroine. God judges us as we judge others; as we forgive others, so He forgives us. Is feeling joy in this woman's death worth the price?
Would be interested in your observations if you have time to scan through the thread...

If the so-called Palestinians want to erect a statue of a defiant Rachel Corrie with her raised fist forever taunting her chances of survival at the foot of a monstrous, unseeing bulldozer, let them go right ahead. Change the name of their encampment to Corrieland for all I care.
Perhaps the Bible in the Episcopal church doesn't say this but mine clearly states "Hate what is wrong" helping to kill Jews is wrong. Removing that which aids evil is not wrong. Even if it was accidental.
I don't know if it is so much joy as black humor. I wish that Rachel Corrie had not died. It was an unfortunate accident. But black humor is another matter altogether.
