Who knows ... one man can make a difference.

Exactly what difference did he make?

• He is dead, along with thousands of other protesters.
  
• The event resulted in no improvement for political dissidents.
  
• The event has been excised from all Internet sites in China, to the point where if you Google Tienanmen square over there you get nothing related to this.
  
• Despite all this the whole rest of the world continues to kiss their big read a**.
  
• Despite the moment being seminal in the consciousness of the Western world, they overwhelmingly support Obama.

So please tell me, what am I missing?
