[BRIEF NOTE] Margaret Hassan, in Memorium

[rfmcdonald]

Margaret Hassan was a familiar and immensely popular figure on the streets of Baghdad. Felicity Arbuthnot, who filmed a documentary about her work, has described Margaret Hassan being mobbed during a visit to a water sanitation plant. "A crowd gathered and tiny children rushed up and threw their arms round her knees, saying, `Madam Margaret, Madam Margaret', and everywhere she went, people just beamed."

Right now, in Iraq, there are some incredibly nihilistic murderers running about.
