When I read that Rachel Corrie’s parents are suing Caterpillar for violating international law by knowingly selling a bulldozer that could be used to endanger lives, I wondered how matters would be different if the Corries had to pay when they lost this lawsuit.
If you don’t recall Rachel Corrie’s saga, think back to 2003 and the young women who was killed by being run over by a bulldozer as she was protesting house demolitions conducted by the Israelis in the Rafah refugee camp. Here’s more info.
All I can say is if someone wants to play chicken with a bulldozer, has the opportunity to jump clear as the bulldozer approaches but doesn’t yield at all, well then, we can thank her for helping improve the gene pool. Of course, one loser has already paid in this sad incident.
