In hindsight, what China did was correct from China's point of view. If the government would have bent to the students, China as we see today would not have existed. the worse case would have been that it would have disintrigated into many countries. And the best case would have been a democracy like india, corrupt to the core and self serving....

lol, what irony. you couldnt have even written this if you had been under the oppressive communist rule.
You couldnt have done a thing if you had been a common man and your house destroyed in name of development. Atleast here, in India you have some right to gather some people and protest and some politician might hear you out and try helping you (atleast for the sake of votes).
LOL, come on man, grow out of your love of communism and try to see the truth (how many were made homeless and how people's rights were oppressed ruthlessly by these anti-democracy forces).
The best form of govt we can have is democracy, accept it even though it has thousands of deficiencies (which are anyway minor compared to the rotten communism). The communist deficiencies might be very few, but its only deficiency, that of ruthless oppression of culture/freedom/rights is more than enough to make you think thousand times before you call democracy a farce.

Well said, Indian. We are indeed fortunate to have democracy, though its imperfect.

netra's words are to an extent true,look where china is now,while india has developed a habit of succumbing to individuals let alone countries.
