Sindae has just left Hobbiton.

I really like Boromir. Few people I know do but well he is a noble man, just to "unlearned" to understand why he can't use the Ring to protect Gondor. That is, in my opinion, a very important fact-he doesn't want to use the Ring for himself, for getting personal advantages, but for Gondor, to help his land against Sauron. His intentions were good even if he didn't think about them well enough. In the end when he tries to get the Ring by force the power of the Ring is just too strong, the temptation is too much for him and he can't resist, but you can't blame him for that because it just came over him and he lost his temper. He very proud of his country so he'd do anything to protect it and the Ring is just too perfect for letting it be destroyed as long as you can take it as a weapon against Sauron. So I can understand him very well, and at the end he has at least a good death since he dies to protect his friends.
I apologize for this long message and hope that my English isn't too bad.
