I have driven a bulldozer, small though, but at that vantage point and the noise how would you know something happened? You are not suggesting that you would feel a bump are you? Now if the operator drove in circles like that Harris lady did when she drove over her cheating husband 2 or 3 times then you might have a point.:)

Karen: On the right wing controlled radio I actually heard whomever was speaking say about the gal killed by the Israeli bull dozer, Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish. Cannot believe the inhumanity of some people whose brains are dead. I ate dinner with two last night and bit my tongue. They stopped by French Wines, are boycotting everything from Canada and hope we wipe Iraq off the face of the earth. INDIGESTION BIG TIME. Suma

TEST MY THEORY, oh, please. I would be HAPPY to... 1.) The kind of bulldozers the Israelis use are NOT like the ones your "bro in law" uses.. Guaranteed!!... They are ARMORED, and the operator uses SMALL vision ports, with VERY limited fields of vision. geocities.com geocities.com geocities.com (not how small the IDF soldier is in relation to the bulldozer) 2.) Depending upon the position of the blade, which was probably raised to bring down the walls of that house, the operator was probably unlikely to see her, or anything to the front. He just moves forward until he hears a crunch of the wall collapsing and then backs off to see how much damage he has done. 3.) It is not uncommon for even US soldiers to be accidentally killed during training due to tank drivers (and especially the tank commander) not paying attention to what's around them.. 4.) She knew the risk.. She had no business getting in front of it in the first place. Now, it's entirely possible that this bulldozer operator was acting maliciously.. And if so, I hope he's prosecuted, regardless of it being an American. And I can guarantee you that, if you so chose, you could be killed by nearly anything if you chose to step in front of it.. Btw... more interesting IDF photos: geocities.com Hawk

Hey Karen... Show your "bro in law" these photos as well: israeli-weapons.com See how small that IDF solder appears walking next to it?? He could fit in the bucket of that dozer.. One can only imagine how much smaller she appeared... Waiting for your response (but not holding my breath). Hawk
