In The Name Of Peace?

This batty woman, a Nobel Peace Prize winner for God's sake, reminds me of those who burned buildings and set off bombs - in the name of peace - during the Vietnam War days:
Nobel winner apologizes for Bush comment
Irish peace activist's speech at Dallas event gets standing ovation
By James Hohmann, The Dallas Morning News


Nobel Peace Prize winner Betty Williams apologized Thursday for saying she could kill President Bush, remarks that drew scorn from Bush loyalists and shook up the International Women's Peace Conference in Dallas.

"Right now, I could kill George Bush," she said. "No, I don't mean that. How could you nonviolently kill somebody? I would love to be able to do that."

It wasn't the first time Ms. Williams has spoken critically of Mr. Bush. Last July, she made an almost identical comment about wanting to "kill George Bush" to a group of schoolchildren in Brisbane, Australia. (link)

I know I'm on the right side of history when I read about nitwits like this.

Kill President Bush who's trying to fight terrorists and keep Americans safe but negotiate with and try to understand people who cut off other people's heads for fun and profit in the name of Allah? Think the Nobel Peace Prize folks can 'splain that? Surely, this makes sense.....to somebody???
