I grant you she was a decent human being, and a peacemaker at heart. Her death was a tragedy, but she brought it on herself. She was an American and had no business interfering as she did. If she had stopped at the end of her email and continued teaching the Palestinian kids English, then my heart would have bled if the bulldozer ran her over while doing that. But no, she foolishly went out in front of the bulldozer. Nobody should be surprised at the result. I am really losing patience with protestors. No matter what their stripe, they are usually interfering with the lawful rights of others in this country -- and in the countries of others they are are way out of their league. I encountered a group of protestors near the building where I work. They say "No War," etc. etc., but they offer no realistic alternative to the President's policy. They are living in a dream world, one of their own imagination, in which reality is the way they would have it to be, not the way it is. No, the poor unfortunate woman had it right when she wrote of discovering, somewhat first-hand, the degree of evil of which we are still capable. Protestors are unhelpful, because they think that signs and standing in front of bull dozers will make a difference. The only thing that will make a difference is for evildoers to make a 180, or for them to be eliminated. I fail to see why you think my judgment is unacceptable while you say nothing about people blowing up perfect innocents with their abominable suicide bombing and their other evildoing.

Do you want this behavior to speak for you? San Francisco protesters stage a 'vomit in' Bay City News Thursday, March 20, 2003 08:41 PST -- In a unique form of opposition, some protesters at the Federal Building staged a "vomit in,'' by heaving on the sidewalks and plaza areas in the back and front of the building to show that the war in Iraq made them sick, according to a spokesman. Many of the approximately 300 protesters demonstrating at the building at 450 Golden Gate Ave. attempted to block building entrances. Seven anti-war demonstrators were arrested at mid-morning as they sought to block a group of about 20 federal employees and other visitors seeking to enter the building, Department of Homeland Security spokesman Ron Rogers said. Rogers said all seven were charged with creating a disturbance and two were additionally charged with resisting arrest. Only the back entrance of the Federal Building on Turk Street was open this morning. People with business inside the building were required to wait outside and were allowed to pass through metal barricades at intervals. The seven arrests occurred during one of the intervals as federal police officers sought to lead visitors around the metal barricades into the building. On the Larkin Street side of the building, demonstrators blocked the driveway that leads into a basement garage used by federal judges and other officials who work in the building. Numerous officers from the Federal Protective Service and San Francisco Police Department, wearing helmets and other riot protection gear, formed lines around the building.
