This was truly a great man. We praise war heros who march off into the
battlefield, amid the high probablity of death. Yet, here was someone, who
was under no delusions about the danger he faced, and yet motivated by the
deepest spiritual committment, and compassion, was willing to give his life,
to help bring about peace and understanding in one of the worst hell-holes
in the world.
Christ was not the only one to sacrifice his life like this. And his
sacrifice has echoed throughout the centuries. At a time when the world is
being governed by cowardice, this Christian soldier, should be remembered
for his courage, and committment to the very highest cause of peace and
understanding.

Perhaps he will be remembered in the Darwin Awards.

"""""Yet, here was someone, who

You got to be kidding.
These fools think they walk on water!
You cannot play around in a war zone.

Tom Fox's heart was in the right place but his head was seriously up his
*****.
Messing around over there with no security is just stupid unless one intends
on suicide.
Too bad a good man had to die of his own stupidity.
