from Thinking Meat:

Ultimately, though, the [Rachel] Corries don’t matter. The daughter is dead, and I don’t care. The parents are cretins, and I care even less. What’s important is to deflate the cult of personality that some on the Left have tried to build around Corrie — to make her into a heroic principled freedom-fighter, instead of what she really was: a dumb, pitiful klutz without enough sense to not stand between a bulldozer and a terrorist tunnel. For that, she needs to be mocked, and her death poked fun at, because if it’s not, the ISM and the Arabs will paint her death as heroic, and that may encourage other misguided fools to enter conflicts they don’t understand, with consequences they can’t appreciate.
