Any national leader from any country is automatically disqualified in my mind because they have blood on their hands, torture in their hearts and oppression in their soul. Even though I don't believe in the place.....someone most would easily argue, if you believed, is going to hell cannot be a hero - even if we asked him or her to do what he or she did, it was their job to be moral and not do it.
She was great, honor, but get off the bandwagon, on an annual or worldwide level, this event is not near the top. I would have preferred to know none of their names, shooter or victim, at least now I only have heard the name of one victim and not the shooter.
It's not about being on a bandwagon or anything other than honoring someone who was completely defenseless and tried to shield the even more defenseless during the worst moments of her young life. Show me one example of someone more deserving.
It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy
