Well, of course you don't feel sorry for the monk, because he was a
buddhist protesting christian barbarism and gross discrimination towards
his people.

The reality is that the self-immolation by that monk helped bring down a
brutal government, albeit it was replaced by one that equaled it in
corruption. The monk's act and the spreading of the photos of it around
the world changed history.
....

IE "look at me. I'm going to kill myself for a cause"

whatever. Same goes for hunger strikes. Just a more permanent end to the kid who holds its breath till it turns blue...

The monks had a rich history of self-immolation before that happened. It was just the latest, and was caught on film and put on the news all over the world at the "right" time. Kennedy, Diem, and the Roman Catholic Church should all be ashamed.

Yeah Harry glazes over the fact that all of that took place during St
John's administration.
I remember when "Madam Nhu" came to DC and was treated like the second
coming of Christ.
