Weekly Reflection #2

I thought that the rebellion in Tiananmen Square got waaayy too out of control. I felt that the hunger strike was pushing it a little too far, but the government one-upped this over-reaction by proceeding to unload millitary arms on the defenseless students. I also thought it was really stupid when one of the students suggested they start burningthemselves in protest. I felt likeif the government was already killing people in the square, why would they care if you light yourself on fire? Also, dealing with the interview with Jiang Zemin, I felt like he was a two-faced, annoying little guy. Hewould keep saying one thing while doing other things, and overall did not seem like he was fun to deal with.
