"June 11, 1963, Thich Quang Duc, a Buddhist monk from Vietnam, burned himself to death at a busy intersection in downtown Saigon to bring attention to the repressive policies of the Catholic Diem regime that controlled the South Vietnamese government at the time.

]Buddhist monks asked the regime to lift its ban on flying the traditional Buddhist flag, to grant Buddhism the same rights as Catholicism, to stop detaining Buddhists and to give Buddhist monks and nuns the right to practice and spread their religion.

 

As he burned he never moved a muscle, never uttered a sound."

 

In my US-History class we are learning currently about the Cold war era. Vietnam in general.. Our teacher showed us this.. and all i can say.. is just.. wow... I never realized what really happened during these things.. This ins't the only case.. This is like Arab Spring, bringing up a revolution.. I just want to throw up at some of the things people did..

 

You opinions?: please be serious.

Its not always Communism though.. It could be any type of government. Arab Spring occurred not under a communist rule. Im almost sure.
