Guest - I don't believe that Tom Fox considered those who killed him to be enemies. I think you should read his blogs so that you can begin to understand his point of view. Whether or not Canada considers his killers to be enemies is beside the point.

SRS - Considering that this is an obit, it seems to be incredibly bad taste for you to keep harping about whether or not Tom was foolish. How kind of you to state what you consider to be a few "home truths". I would also like to mention that since there is no longer a draft, the soldiers who are in Iraq certainly made that choice by signing up in the first place.

Rest in peace, Tom. Your bravery and your commitment to peace has made many of us reflect on our own level of involvement in trying to end the invasion of Iraq and the misery in Fallujah.

I, too, do not intend to start a flame war. I think I have said enough and will leave this thread to others.
