Whether you shared her beliefs or not there can be no denying that she cared passionately for what she believed in.

RIP

Yeah passionately enough to murder her captives by hanging a burning car tire around their necks. Good riddance sez I.

I agree with August here. She is no loss for mankind. Just a hopelessly overestimated somebody with some very grim lows in her ethical "beliefs".

She is in good company in this regard: Ghandi, Theresa, Arafat... Heck, history is full of Satans that were forgiven by people with too short memories. Their glorifications are monuments for the stupidity of the masses.
