I don't think it was any more foolish for him to go there than it is foolish for any soldier to go there. Only difference is that he was a soldier for Peace. I can only applaud the commitment. He was a better human being than most of us.

There is a fine line between bravery and foolishness and I'm not going to judge his very personal decision to go to Iraq. It was his decision. He paid with his life. I'm sure he has left behind a family who loved him very much.
