Are there people today willing to give up their lives for a cause they believe in?
There are still people who give up their lives for the things they believe in. One example I saw when I was in Vietnam during the Christmas break. We were in a temple in Hue, the Linh-Mu Pagoda. There we saw pictures and the car of a Buddhist monk who set himself on fire in protest against the Diem government. That happened on June 11 in 1963.

But also now in 2007 we see news were people give up their live, as I also just posted my current event. There somebody used a truck full of bombs to kill many people, but he himself was also killed in doing so. He gave his life, because he thinks his religion is a better religion than that of the people he killed.
