As the whole world watches what’s going on in the streets of Iran after their election, the talking heads on TV keep referencing the bloody Tiananmen Square Protests of 1989 in China. No one seems to remember the peaceful People Power Revolution of 1986 in Manila, which toppled the regime of Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos.

I like to remind people of the People Power Revolution in Manila, especially those who insist that US military power is needed to secure freedom for Iraq and Afghanistan, and potentially other places.
