Cindy Sheehan she is not

As reported by the AP from Gaza:

Hamas identified two of the dead as Nafez Abu Hussein and Rwad Farhad, local field commanders. Several hundred gunmen, some firing into the air, joined a funeral procession for Farhad, who was 17.

Farhad's mother, known as Um Nidal, said all three of her sons have been killed in fighting with the Israelis. "I am so proud," she said. "I wish I had more sons to offer."
One profanes her son's death; the other honors her sons' deaths for a profane cause.

Still it's a definite argument in favor of the old theory that the extremes of any behavior are more alike than unalike. If both women have their way, radical Islam will triumph and the ideal of true human liberty will be erased in the Middle East.

Bizarre.
