I'm amazed, with screensful of news, no one here comments on the situation in Iran? Is this possible, or did I wander into a backwater of news and opinion? I dunno - you gotta tell me. ...
Meantime, just a short comment: Neda is my sister, my daughter, my cousin, my lover, a good friend ... she has been publicly martyred for a cause for which our ancestors fought - the simple right to speak freely, to peaceably assemble, to vote - and have it count!
But privately, silently - for more than a century, in the Iran that we are looking at finally, and in many other parts of the Islamic world, there are people who are being martyred - either with their lives or by other means. Look closer - here's a link: Mona's Dream (http://www.monasdream.com/). There's a film being done about it.
Notice how it takes a burst of light to scatter roaches?
