I know a man who accidentally ran over his own son in a bulldozer. The boy, 3 years old, was supposed to be indoors, but snuck out and made the fatal mistake of playing behind his Dad's bulldozer. When his Dad backed over him he died almost instantly. The boy didn't know any better.

What's my point? I feel horrible for Rachel Corrie's death, but she was in a situation where she was aware of the danger. She probably did not go to the protest expecting to die, but surely she went expecting some conflict. That is, after all, why she was in the region- to try to end conflict.

I pray that her soul is at rest. I also pray that this does not become something that it isn't.
