Been reading about Vietnam's history lately. I was quite surprised to see a familiar picture of a Buddhist monk in flames. It was actually used in the cover of RATM's groundbreaking self-titled album. The subsequent coup that happened after the Buddhist crisis in 1963 made me feel poignant too, considering the coup that just happened in Thailand. Some things never change.
