Another sweet kid gets tossed into Bush's Iraqi Meat Grinder

SAN FRANCISCO — A woman who led an effort to help those ravaged by violence in Iraq (search) fell victim to the war herself when a car bomb killed her and two other people, officials said Sunday.

Marla Ruzicka (search), founder of Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict, died Saturday in the blast, which also killed an Iraqi and another foreigner, officials said. She had been in Iraq conducting door-to-door surveys trying to determine the number of civilian casualties in the country.

Ruzicka, 28, of Lakeport, founded CIVIC in 2003 and was instrumental in securing millions of dollars in aid money from the federal government for distribution in Iraq.

Sen. Patrick Leahy (search), D-Vt., said it was Ruzicka's idea to put a special fund in last year's multibillion-dollar foreign aid bill to help Iraqis whose businesses had been bombed by mistake or as collateral damage. "She was constantly calling us to say moving too slowly," he said by telephone on Sunday. "Just from the force of her personality, we decided to take a chance on it."

1. Bush has a total disconnect with this war
He spent Nam in Alabama restaurants and Iraq at Crawford.

7. I can see your point
And, if we hadn't gone to war, those hundred + thousand Iraquis wouldn't have been able to die either.
And just who are you suggesting has the freedom? You think the Iraqis with an occupying army that determines who has rights or even lives or dies are free?
