Jason Kottke said what I’m thinking better than I could, so I’ll let him do the talking.
The only other thing I have to say is that the crowing and rejoicing about the death of Rachel Corrie on some of the warblogs has been nothing but ungentlemanly and unladylike. Let me make this very clear: civilised people do not behave like that. It doesn’t matter whether you agreed with her or not; we’re supposed to be much better than that, folks.
And to my friends and readers who are currently serving on this mission: come home safe.
