This is one of Marla's favorite quotes. She had enough love to cover the planet."
In other words, she actively wanted a planet-wide Revolution.

SAN FRANCISCO - A woman who founded a humanitarian group to aid civilian casualties in Iraq has died in a car bombing in Baghdad, officials said Sunday.
Marla Ruzicka, 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, founded CIVIC in 2003 to "mitigate the impact of the conflict and its aftermath on the people of Iraq by ensuring that timely and effective life-saving assistance is provided to those in need," according to the group's Web site.
Ruzicka's parents said Sunday they were notified of her death just hours after the explosion. U.S. Embassy officials publicly released Ruzicka's name Sunday.
"We've been very worried about her but we know better than to tell our children not to do anything. We were supportive and just reminded her to be careful," said her mother, Nancy Ruzicka, of Lakeport.
She said her daughter had left her a telephone message the night before her death that said, "Mom and dad, I love you. I'm OK."
"She cared about people and gave people her love and help," Nancy Ruzicka said. "I'll remember the love she spread around the world and the good ambassador that she was for her country."
Ruzicka got her start working for non-governmental organizations 10 years ago at the San Francisco-based human rights group Global Exchange.
"It's a terrible tragedy and a tragic irony that somebody who devoted her life to helping the victims of war would herself become a victim of war," said Medea Benjamin, the group's director.
In other words, she actively wanted a planet-wide Revolution.

There is a theory that "highly educated" folks make bigger, dumber mistakes than lesser educated people. I nominate Hillary as her replacement in Iraq.
Apparently she was an unwilling human shield.
The homicide bomber tried to attack a U.S. military convoy but ended up blowing her car up instead.
Before you 'plonk' anyone else, would you care to comment on Comrade Ruzicka's anti-American activities?
In other words:
I can't respect someone for having convictions alone. The Nazis had convictions.
Actually, I can.
"Dear Marla Ruzicka: May flights of Type-II demons speed you to your fiery rest, you terrorist-enabling useful idiot.
Amen"

There's Soros, right in your link. Leahy, too.
I do not have any sympathy for her. She went there to slam the US and our military. I'll let God decide where she ends up. I'll save my sympathy for our soldiers.
