And the Aussie kids cheered

Drudge is running a headline about a Nobel Peace Prize winner telling school kids she wanted to kill George W. Bush:
"Right now, I would love to kill George Bush." Her young audience at the Brisbane City Hall clapped and cheered.

"I don't know how I ever got a Nobel Peace Prize, because when I see children die the anger in me is just beyond belief. It's our duty as human beings, whatever age we are, to become the protectors of human life."
We must presume it was a figure of speech, however, Ms. Williams said she didn't consider herself non-violent and was confused about winning a Nobel. Perhaps she should pause to consider that Yasser Arafat also got one, which says something about the selection process in general.

She went on to give an example about her experience with Iraqi kids dying after the Gulf War due to lack of medicines, but failed to formally call for the death of Clinton or Kofi Annan (that we know of).

She happened to be speaking at the Earth Dialogues Forum in Brisbane, a group headed by our old friend Gorbachev. Among advocating the murder of Bush, the group also made statements about global warm, er climate change, and the general funding of armies for the common defense. Is any further comment really necessary?

Probably not, but I can't help but wonder if Ms. Williams' anger also extends to those who murder children yet to emerge from the womb.
