I bet Cheney is telling GW this will stabilize things.

From all I hear, she was a decent sort...it's a sad thing. Of course a number of "regular" folks have died in the protests since her murder and we hear little if anything about them...loss of life should always be mourned. Least we fall victim to the concept that this only happens "over there", the names Emmett Till, Medgar Evers, Martin Luther King, Bobby and John Kennedy...even Larry Flynt and George Wallace should be mentioned. Hatred is a universal concept and something so minor as a different skin color, religion, nationality or political point of view sparks the ugliest of human behavior. American politics has recently once again taken a turn toward demonization of individuals instead of debate of differences...I pray we don't have such a travesty here!
