Ted Re..So again, I ask......do you think she got what she deserved? Dying for standing in front of a bulldozer or even for burning the Amer. flag?

She chose to jump in front of the bulldozer. That was her option,she gambled and she lost. Sort of like a driver who drinks and drives. The dozer driver probably had seen this many times and didn't think much of it. Until the accident happpened.


Harry, she didn't suddenly jump in front of the bulldozer, she stood there.......she had been standing for some time. That's why I don't think it was accident.

I think the pertinent question is did she deserve to die because she stood in the way of the bulldozer. Personally, I don't think so.

She chose to jump in front of the bulldozer.

Tragic as it is, it is ridiculous that ANYONE would assert that this accident was anyone other than Corrie's fault. When you intentionally stand in front of an oncoming bulldozer, it must be obvious that you are putting yourself at tremendous risk of being hurt or killed.

This young girl made a series of fatal mistakes; as much the same way youngsters will drink and drive, drive too fast, experiment with drugs that are manufactured in bathtubs by non-chemists, engage in high-risk sexual activity, etc. It was risky behavior based on a total misunderstanding of the ways of the world.

Her parents are as culpable as the bulldozer driver.

Another article about Rachel Corrie; but the interesting point is the author's take on the idealism which took her life.

The unbridled idealism that typifies liberalism can only be described as "child-like".
