American protester run over by an Israeli bulldozer in Gaza and killed. Developing...
Ah, so what we are fighting for is not what makes us "better," it's what we are thinking about or how we feel about the fighting that makes us "better." Bull crap. I want my enemies dead, and I'm not made morally superior by regretting that they must die.
True enough, which is why I also mentioned the education system. Living here in the Soviet Socialist Republic of Seattle, and knowing what kind of school Evergreen State College and most high schools and grade school ideologies are, I still maintain a child is only a product of what they are taught to believe. There are millions of examples in this country of proper upbringing with a balanced set of views. Tragically, she seemed to have had only one type of influence in her life. and she paid dearly for it. To me her blood is still on her parents and educators hands. Of course you're right, they will all remain in denial and idolize her. Sad.
An old man walks into a tavern and sees a hot blonde sitting up at the bar having a drink. He comes up to her and says, "Hey, honey, if I paid you 10 million dollars, would you spend the night with me?"
The blonde thinks it over and confesses that yes, for $10 million, she would.
The old man pulls out a couple twenties and says "Will you do it for $40?"
Indignantly she replies, "What kind of woman do you think I am?"
He says, "Oh, we've already established that, ma'am. Now we're just haggling over the price."
If you can find someone you consider evil enough that you'll rejoice upon their death, you really have no moral stance for deciding that where we draw that line is wrong, but where you draw it is right. This woman has stood with people who have murdered hundreds of innocent civilians. How is she better than those who stand with bin Laden?
Is this how you would have greeted the news of the death of Adolph Hitler or Joseph Stalin?

Ooo, here's an opportunity to make money AND do the country a service. Picture this: Bush effigies, $25 each! (And they explode when ignited!) LOL!!
What really sickens me is that people are blaming her parents for not "teaching her right".
I guess all the parents on this thread have never had a child that drove a vehicle over the legal intoxication limit....or their child never rode with a legally-intoxicated friend behind the wheel. Or any other sort of stupid, dangerous behaviour.
I'm so glad that FR is full of perfect parents with perfect children.
Okay, now you are getting a bit scary on us. I hope you were only being rhetorical.
There is no way in hell I will ever support resorting to Chilean style killing squads taking out United States citizens because they do not take my political stand.
That is a recipe for the total distruction and ending of America as we know it. You do NOT want to open that Pandora's Box.
If we are too lazy or too stupid to have our ideals and our values win the political battles, then we do not deserve to be in power.
If our ideals and values are not strong enough or good enough to be accepted by the majority of people, then no amount of killing will ever keep them present.
What you have suggested goes against everything my father has ever taught me about what makes America great.
Let's see, am I sad that this one's been squished? Lemme check.. ahhh...
ummm...
just a moment....
No.
No, dear, the people in the tanks were communists. Those are the bad guys, see? Hello? Anybody in there?
I cant take it no more!!
I was reading a paper by one of the Profs there......post 9-11. It sounds like this place took 9-11 seriously, but being this misguided, something bad was bound to happen. Its a sad statement on the condition of the Intitutions of Higher Learning in this country. I had to stop reading...I was getting a CNN flashback.
She sided with those who did the end zone bob-'n'-weave after 9/11. We're just behaving towards her as she and her allies would have us act.
She was still a human life. She was still an American.
She was an American who was given the full fruits of this wonderful land, and chose to stand with our enemies.
She voluntarily chose to be an enemy of freedom. I will cheerfully gloat over her death. She's more than earned the ridicule.
I'm sad she will never have the opportunity to learn from her mistakes of youth.
Some flavors of mistake are inherently fatal. Nobody held a gun to her head and made her do this.
I would prefer we win by changing minds rather then by seeing them eliminated.
A fine and noble sentiment.
Frankly, I don't see how it's going to happen. I'm beginning to think that we will have a bloody civil war between those who espouse personal liberty and responsibility, and those who espouse collectivism. Every effective that the collectivists lose before Day One of that civil war is one that we won't have to shoot during or immediately after that war.
