Persian Wisdom

On September 29, 2006, I blogged about a lecture given by a U.S. political science professor, in which he discussed freedom in Iran in the context of rule under the mullahs.  I received a reply that day traced to central Iran, apparently to a medical institution or school.  The response was mysterious, but less so after this weekend:  "I wish people in the world really knew how we feel here."

We know now how these young people feel.  Without taking sides (what good would that do other than polarizing the Iranian people against America?), we can stand with the people and against violence, against corrupt election process, and for justice, for freedom, and for the future for Iran.  We can also pray for the Iranian people.
