1/4     Why the fascination with blowing up airplanes? Airports have tight
        security. It doesn't seem worth it. It's far easier to derail a
        train or set off explosives in a crowded place like a theater or
        sporting event. As many or more people will be killed and it will
        still make the news. I don't get why all of our security, and
        apprently much of the terrorist's resources, is focused on airplanes.

6/6     It is impossible not to be reminded of the classic Jewish joke
        about the Jewish mother in Russia taking leave of her son, who
        has been called up to serve the Czar in the war against Turkey.
        "Don't overexert yourself'" she implores him, "Kill a Turk and
        rest. Kill another Turk and rest again…"

Eastern Editor's note: Are you ready for the Second American Revolution? Joseph Farah's new book, " 19 Taking America Back" exposes the weaknesses in America's current system and offers practical solutions solutions that are real and doable, solutions that can revive freedom, morality and justice in our nation. You can read the perspectives of those who believe her death was the result of cold-blooded, premeditated, political murder on the 21 website of the International Solidarity Movement. I'm going to tell you what I think actually happened to this poor, misguided, young American zealot. First, let's recognize that Rachel Corrie went to the Gaza Strip enflamed with rage against Israel and her own country. God only knows what caused her to hold such hatred against America and the Jewish state. You can read some of her rantings on the International Solidarity Movement site. But you cannot get an appreciation of just how radicalized this woman was until you see the photograph of her taken a month before her death. This was a picture with enough expression to be picked up by wire services weeks before her tragic death. Then on March 16, Corrie decided to block the path of an IDF bulldozer as it was preparing the ground in anticipation of destroying the home of a terrorist in the Gaza Strip. She was there for hours taunting the bulldozer driver with a bullhorn. Sometimes she would stand in front and move aside when the bulldozer approached, according to witnesses. Other times the bulldozer operator would be forced to bring his work to a halt because Corrie refused to budge. Finally, Corrie decided to sit on a mound of earth in front of the machine. According to Joe Smith, who attended Evergreen College with Corrie and traveled with her to the Gaza Strip, the earth started to move under her as the bulldozer approached. She got pulled down, and the bulldozer lost sight of her. It sounds like the person most culpable in this tragedy is young Rachel Corrie. Because the whole world saw another photo - one of Rachel Corrie with a megaphone in her hands prior to her death - the assumption has been that the bulldozer ran over a woman standing with a megaphone in her hand. As I said, that picture was taken hours before Corrie decided to lie down in front of the bulldozer where the driver lost sight of her. And then, to make matters worse, to attempt to climb into the shovel rather than get out of the way. The photo distributed internationally by Reuters and appearing on page 3 of the New York Times, March 17, was taken by the International Solidarity Movement. The Reuters caption mentioned only that the photo was taken prior to her death, suggesting that it was mere moments and that Corrie was standing with a megaphone in her hands. If that had been the case, I would be calling this murder, too. It's a terrible tragedy that a beautiful young American woman threw her life away for an immoral political cause - defending terrorism, attacking her own country. This will be my last word on the death of Rachel Corrie. I hope this answers all those inquisitive minds out there. I hope this addresses the misplaced notion that she was some kind of heroine, some kind of martyr. But I have no doubts, given the passions of her anti-American and anti-Israeli friends that this simple recounting of the facts will only lead to more misguided words and actions.
