Rachel Corrie was flirting with terrorism. Isn't it only natural that some of the terror spilled out to herself?

For putting herself in a place where the bulldozer driver could not see her and she got crushed. damn shame to lose a child because of their stupidity and then to try and sue and make someone else responsible for your child's stupidity

  Dude, if the bulldozer driver couldn't see out the window then shouldn't he stop?

  Indeed, shouldn't he have refused to turn the ignition UNTIL he was certain that the authorities had removed everyone from the site? I mean, honestly, what sort of excuse is: I'm not to blame because I couldn't see where I was going.

  No one can match the Israeli twisted lies and excuses, simply because they were pampered by the whole world. They simply lie and lie, but they will wake up some day to realize that the world caught them red handed

  U should do more research before spouting off. Corrie popped up from hiding after the 'dozers were already pushing rubble. That size blade has a normal blind spot close up. Construction crews and Roadwork crews know that and stay out of that danger zone. She didn't know that - she was too close and when she realized it, fell down trying to back out of the way. Very very sad but due only to her own ignorance and recklessness.
