May Neda be responsible for the end of this, and perhaps other, dictatorial and dangerous regimes.

Iran has a long history of female fighters and female resistance and these elections just showed Iranian public AND the world at large that Iranian women wont be victimized and are educated, brave human beings who will take to the streets and fight alongside men for freedom.
Im really proud to be a persian woman, these days. :)

I can't even imagine what that kind of grief that uncertainty would cause.

Politics aside, a mother has lost her young daughter. I hope she finds some peace eventually.

A rich man asked Sengai to write something for the continued prosperity of his family so that it might be treasured from generation to generation.
Sengai obtained a large piece of paper and wrote, "Father dies, son dies, grandson dies."
The rich man became angry. "I asked you to write something for the happiness of my family! Why do you make such a joke as this?"
"No joke is intended, explained Sengai. "If before you yourself die your son should die, this would grieve you greatly. If your grandson should pass away before your son, both of you would be broken-hearted. If your family, generation after generation, passes away in the order I have named, it will be the natural course of life. This is real prosperity."

Let every death in the name of repression, ignorance and violence against the innocent be like the breeze from a passing gnat.

This photo of Kim Phuc (full name Phan Thị Kim Phúc) was taken just after South Vietnamese planes bombed her village. She had only lived because she tore off her burning clothes. AP Photographer Nick Út and NBC cameraman Le Phuc Dinh filmed her and her family emerging from the village, after the air strike, running for their lives. This photo has become one of the most famous and memorable photos of Vietnam and won Nick Út the Pulitzer prize in 1972.
now, neda.

"6:55 PM ET -- A bit more about Neda. A blogger apparently in touch with Neda's family members offers some new details (translated by reader Nima): she was born in 1982, apparently her full name was Neda Agha Soltan, and she was at the protest with one her professors and several other students. She was, they said, shot by a basiji riding by on a motorcycle. Also, she was apparently buried today at a large cemetery in the south of Tehran -- the memorial for tomorrow that I noted earlier has since been canceled." [www.huffingtonpost.com]

What a fucked up pissing contest this is.

I had naively hoped that the counter-revolution could happen in a peaceful, bloodless manner. I am sad to be proved wrong.
Insha'Allah, something good will come from this.

women have so long been voiceless and faceless in that part of the world; the throngs in the streets supporting theocracy are men men and more men

No matter how you feel about Bush, he's not Ahmadinejad.

Now please stop trivializing the Iran tragedy. This is not about us. We're supposed to be shining a light on others.
