There are already songs about Rachel Corrie. We've had a couple posted by Mudcatters.

One thing I like about this is that, as with Dylan's original, the focus in the end isn't about the crime itself, it's about the failure of rewponsibility on the part of what can be called "the establishment" - th ejudge handing down a token sentence to Hattie Carroll's killer, the theatre chickening out on putting on a play. "Trahison des clercs" is the old word for that kind of thing.

We all know bad things are going to happen from time to time. That's a reqason to feel sad. But we lke to tell ourselves that a kind of justice is going to follow. When that doesn't happen, that's when sadness turns to shame.

Worth listening to the song on that link I gave. Worth singing it too.
