One of the most iconic photos taken during the Vietnam War was of the self-immolation of ThíchQuảng Đức, a Buddhist monk who set himself on fire at a busy intersection in Saigon to protest the treatment of Buddhists by the government of South Vietnam. Can we compare Đức's self-immolation to that of Mohammed Bouazizi? Do you think he, like Đức, was trying to start a revolution?
