Ustwo,
The first and last were of Tiananmen Square - I'm well aware of what happened there, I was working at an NPR affiliate when the killing started and switched to the network for coverage. It was very.... unpleasant.
The second was a protest regarding an earlier protest in which a massacre occured. the fifth was the same thing, different country.
The self immolation of the Buddhist Monk is about as notoriuos a protest that the world has ever seen.
The Bay Lap photo is also one of the most famous in the world, and it took place during a war in which the native population clearly wanted to be free of French, then American interference.
What else would you like to know? How does this pertain to the right wing's repeated attempts to smear vets instead of debating issues?
