http://archives.cbc.ca/IDC-1-7... The images are shocking. Armoured tanks plow into crowds of people, flames from burning buses light up the night sky, and bleeding bodies are rushed to hospital. For weeks student protesters in Beijing's Tiananmen Square have been demonstrating for political reform of China's communist government. A declaration of martial law has failed to quell the protests, and now the government has called in the military. Death is all around as the CBC's Tom Kennedy reports. The massacre begins shortly after midnight as tanks and armoured personnel carriers roll through the streets, crushing hastily erected barricades and into Tiananmen Square. After launching tear gas and using loudspeakers to order people to leave, the army starts shooting. But the protesters fight back, beating army officers or simply standing their ground. They form human walls around foreign press to make sure the story gets out to the world.

Communism isn't awful, I honestly think that communism would work in Iran rather than America's god damn "democracy". Communism, however, will not last forever and Iran will eventually have to change. Otherwise, Iran will end up just like this.

You know i had lot of respect for China for my whole life(as i'm Chinese), like i would always support China if anyone mad fun of China i would fight them. But when my brother told me about Tiananmen Square it was like a dagger going through my child hood. I never knew about this ever happening. And i have to say when i found out about it i was freakin pissed.

Quote Mikey "God is above all laws, including the Chinese" This is the root of Western disrespect of China. Mikey, do you have any logical argument for that? I simply do not buy it. God is rooted in childhood indoctrination. It is like "Hitler is above all laws, including the Jews" This represents the frustration of the Chinese. The West are brainwashed with a self-supremacy deity. They are willing to KILL ALL for their barbaric almighty. Christians must learn to live with diversity.

A bunch Anglos in their 40s supposedly from Students for Free Tibet went to Tiananmen. Despite language barrier, their protests drew crowds of angry Chinese. Surprisingly perhaps, Western media claims the pro-China crowd is "hired" by Chinese government. Like the Western protesters, the pro-China protesters were also escorted away. But it is reported by the paranoid Western media as "disappeared into security service." In this case, the Christian West thorough insulted the Chinese people again.
