The Death of a Peacemaker
Requiescat in pace: U.S. Hostage Tom Fox Killed in Iraq.

Mr. Fox and the three other kidnapped Christian Peacemaker activists were well-intentioned, but perhaps naïve. It seems Mr. Fox heeded only the latter part of Our Lord's advice to the apostles from the Gospel According to Saint Matthew Chapter 10:
    Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves.
But who am I to say anything from the comfort of my apartment in Pohang? Let us remember these words of Our Lord spoken on the Mount and recorded eleven chapters earlier:
    Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God.
