Rachel Corrie
I disagree. From reading her letters home my opinion is that she was highly intelligent and principled - a rare commodity. I think she had more human decency and spirit than 99% of people will ever know. "I feel like I'm witnessing the systematic destruction of a people's ability to survive. It's horrifying...It takes a…

I admired…

North Korea orders army to PREPARE FOR WAR with USA
A bit surprised no one has commented on this (or did I miss it already?) My first thought is that this little country will never win any wars but could really prove to be a pain in the ass.
