SUCH A CANDLE

Iranian Exiles Set Selves on Fire in Paris (Fox News, June 18, 2003)

Two Iranian women set themselves on fire Wednesday during a protest in Paris against a major raid at the offices of an Iranian opposition group, police said.

During the Vietnam era, the Left used the willingness of some monks to set fire to themselves as dispositive proof of the evilness of our cause. Presumably this demonstrates that Iran is properly placed on the Axis of Evil?

May these poor misguided souls share the epitaph of Hugh Latimer:

Be of good cheer, Master Ridley, and play the man, for we shall this day light such a candle in England as I trust by God's grace shall never be put out.
