According to the eyewitness report of Mr. Halberstam Thich Quang Duc 
set fire to himself. No reason to doubt that.

Yes, and even now, I'm sorry to say, some people prefer to think that 
the monks and nuns who burned themselves were in league with the VC, 
(the VC of course being a horde of subhuman orks of some kind).

>Just want to set the record straight.

Nothing personal, but oh please. Life is full of tragedies, let us 
agree on this.
