-- Nobel Peace Prize Winner
Here's a quiz. What's the most important part of this article from the Australian?:
Campaigning on the rights of young people at the Earth Dialogues forum, being held in Brisbane, Ms Williams spoke passionately about the deaths of innocent children during wartime, particularly in the Middle East, and lambasted Mr Bush.
"I have a very hard time with this word 'non-violence', because I don't believe that I am non-violent," said Ms Williams, 64.
"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."
Give up? It's not the fact that she could kill George Bush -- any Peace Prize recipient worth her salt feels rage toward Bush.
It's the fact that Australian children clapped and cheered when she said it. Assuming that's true, this is just one more sign that the head of this nation -- once a beacon for liberty, freedom, and prosperity -- is now a reviled figure even among many of our allies.
It's a bad day for Mr. Bush. Check out the Chris Matthews smackdown from today as well... (CLG)
