I just think, as Frodo-centric as this section represents itself to be, the world is not looking at Frodo. The world looks to Sammath Nuar, not to Frodo. They're not throwing away their lives for the hobbit, they're throwing away their lives for a purpose (though they're really no commiting suicide technically, just hoping to die bravely in distraction form). If it were book-verse, they would be sure that Frodo was dead already, considering the MoV incident. Of course, that might make the line make more sense in contest.<P>Ok, I've reconsidered.<BR>Worst Line: What does your heart tell you?
