Burbank's just dying to give me a manners class. You realize you've made a dozen posts in response to presentation rather then content. I'm sorry you don't like my demeanor there Maxie, but save it for your semiotics dissertation on computer debating ethics will ya?

I wasn't playing hard to get, I was seriously questioning the ability of those on this board to see through propaganda ... and apparently you're all a buncha suckers. So be it. From my vantage point I see a lot of kids sitting in the States trying to be political with some real limitations to their understanding of the situation...and they'll believe what they want to in order to support their half baked beliefs... It wasn't that long ago some of you were talking about Arafat as a man of peace who had changed his ways.

How exactly has the pro-Israel contigent, who would like this to go away, helped to exploit her name? By putting light on the situation as it was and questioning inconsitancies in the photos? Are you aware of the story of one little Muhammad Al-Dura, a poster boy in his own right? Now the circumstances of these deaths must be questioned, for they are being held up for the world to see as examples. Look, nobody is debating the fact that she died and it was horrible...but do you like seeing her corpse on the internet? You like knowing that someone who represents peace in the middle east for the movement was actually sympathetic and working alongside terrorists? It's a problem. She wasn't the first American casualty of this conflict and sadly it's unlikely she'll be the last.

Next time you see a Rachel Corrie poster, or see her name mentioned, ask yourself who Abigail Litle was... and wonder why nobody cares.
