Major Trofimov was killed trying to safely detonate a bomb outside a restaurant placed there by a Chechen suicide bomber who wanted to kill many, many innocent people. The bomb may have been detonated by remote control by one of her confederates watching him as he approached it (real nice folks, so thoughtful that in addition to many sticks of TNT, they added ball bearings for effect). There's a photo of Major Trofimov in tonite's English-language Moscow Times (www.themoscowtimes.com). He looked like the type of man every man would like to be. God rest his soul!

Thanks for your replies but I was hoping for a more worldly veiw away from all of the political crap we have to deal with. People from different countries who take a stand for what is right have more in common with each other than they do with many of thier own neighbors. That is who I would like to consider.. Just food for thought. Have a good weekend.
