Sad news, and yet I can't help but admire a guy who would go so far to
make a statement about the insanity of our involvement in Iraq.

- Well, admire isn't the word I would use - I think as a political act it
was a bit useless - though Rumsfeld did step down today, but I don't think
it was because dude set himself on fire.

- Certainly it is impressive as an act of "performance art" - tops Chris
Burden getting shot in the arm or nailed to the Volkswagon. Darren and I
spent a bit of time at dinner last night discussing the ethics and
responsibility of his action.
