Liberal true-believer

The naivety of the "world peace" crowd never ceases to amaze, as the BBC reports:

An Italian woman artist who was hitch-hiking to the Middle East dressed as a bride to promote world peace has been found murdered in Turkey.

The naked body of Giuseppina Pasqualino di Marineo, 33, known as Pippa Bacca, was found in bushes near the northern city of Gebze on Friday.

She had said she wanted to show that she could put her trust in the kindness of local people.

When a liberal wants to put her beliefs to the the test individually, it is, I suppose, noble, even if tragic. The greater problem is when, through politics, they try to force the rest of us to join them in their suicide attempts.

Update (Feb. 2009): Police say she was gang-raped before she was murdered. One suspect is on trial.
