    even tried to drive around Tank Man without success.

    That didnt happen. Tank man climbed on top of the first tank and talked to the soldiers. Some people run up and talked to tank man. And then the protestors let the tanks go.

    And tank man wasnt the only person blocking tanks that day. Its just a very poweful photograph so people make up stories.

    EDIT: Also this was an incredibly brutal past in Chinas history. And its not like the Chineese government wasnt slaughtering hundreds of students and protesters at will. By some estimates more than 300 people were slaughtered right after this occured. Nobody knows what happened to Tank man or the soldiers in the first tank.

    So maybe thats why liberals arent asking why in regards to these things. Becuse they didn’t happen.

    But I dont disagree with your take otherwise. Though puzzled as to why you didnt fact check what happened before posting. Im sure you can see that masses of people twisting facts is how we got in this mess.
