Hello Stavros.
Thank you for all the time you put into your blog. I look for new postings almost daily you have spoiled me and I am sure countless others. It appears her name was Neda may her memory be eternal. The video so traumatized me, first of all as a father and secondly as a citizen of the world. How could I go on if that happened to one of my children. Also how can it be 2009 and people continue to do such things to each other?
Because of that I searched for more information. It appears Neda has become one of the faces of the protests. http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/06/21/iran.woman.twitter/index.html?iref=mpstoryview
We sometimes forget how great it is to live in a society where we can speak and protest if need be without fear.

The way I see it is we sometimes need to let actions follow a natural course. Unfortunately the rest of the world can not just enter Iran and solve the internal problems of their nation. I only hope for their sake they resolve all these problems before too many more innocent pay the price.

On this Fathers day I hope evryone is surrounded by those they love in health and peace.

Peter,

Thank you for taking the time to read MGO. I hope that you will find something worthwhile within its pages. Although I wish I could devote more time to this blog, my family and job make that rather difficult. I recommend that you subscribe to the blogs feed. Double click the link in the left margin. It will notify you when I post something new.

Neda's death has also had a profound effect on me. It is indicative of the complete moral bankruptcy of those in power. None of us can afford to remain silent in the face of such tyranny. This post was my humble attempt to add my voice to those of millions of Iranians who struggle for eleftheria in every sense of the word.

This is much more than a choice between two men or a mere election. It is the culmination of years of oppression. The children of the "revolution" are finally speaking out and their voices will not be silenced by hoodlums with guns and truncheons. No matter what happens, there is no going back.

I am not advocating military intervention however, the world can no longer afford to coddle such regimes. We need to treat the as the pariahs they are.

Best wishes to you and your family. May our children never have to suffer the fate of all the Nedas throughout the world.
