Should we really feel sorry for Tom Fox?

I have sorrow for those left behind to grieve his loss. But I think, as a Christian, we should be proud of Tom Fox. He did what so many of us are afraid to do. He went to a dangerous place, aware of the risk, to do what he felt needed to be done. He didn't go there to be killed. He went there to help. And I'm sure he made a difference.

NO, I know is really sounds BAD and all But I don't feel sorry for anyone such as Fox. I mean he as well as others go there on their own. No one makes them go over. They go for the money as a private contractor, or as peace activist, or a group who really has no business there. We are at WAR. Like it or not. There isn't ANYTHING that they are going to do that will change anything. They want to be heros then they should join the military and REQUEST to be sent there. Then they can die as heros would DEFENDING our country. Other than that SORRY.

"In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves."

-- Siddhartha Buddha

If blaming this man for caring about other human beings, is what makes his death easier to swallow than so be it. Is it any wonder the world is a complete nightmare when people are so pathetic they have to blame a good Christian man for his own death? It's disgusting to see, so much so I needed to add more to my original answer. If the life you want to live involves hiding behind closed doors like cowards, instead of doing your best to reach out to others in need. So be it. That is what separates Tom Fox from all the people here spewing out verbal diarrhea about this mans passing.

I think you're an retard. how you do feel bad for a dead person? You don't have to feel anything. Do dead people care if you feel bad for them? I can imagine Tom Fox saying..."this guy feels bad for me because I am dead."

no, but feel for his family and friends for the loss that they have suffered. He had every right to be there and where he pleased. It's unfortunate what happened to him. I am sure he knew the risks. Well, I guess I could say-would you care if someone said (about you)"i feel sorry for the FAT guy who died."

*sorry to sound so harsh, it's just an opinion

You're right, no one should ever take risks or try to make a difference or try to make the world a better place. Jesus deserved what he got for messing with those Romans. Being a Christian, Fox should have learned from that example and just minded his own business. (Tongue firmly in cheek for anyone to dense to notice.)

I feel sorry for him. He meant well and tried to help others. That said he was a deeply flawed individual; arrogant and sanctimonious. He paid for his shortcomings by suffering greatly and meaninglessly. Let his demise be a lesson to all about who and what the USA, and the decent Iraqis are up against.

There's no difference between knowing his name and generalizing a feel for a group of people.

Torture is terrible - period!

Feel bad for him because of that.

Feel bad for those he was with.

Feel bad for all people tortured.

Feel bad for the Iraqis for feeling the need to do this.

Don't pick and choose.

Sometimes there's no need to think so hard.
