Iranian Women Stand Up…
Posted by Dave Mark on Jun 23, 2009 in Politics
The Iranian election is very hard for me to talk about. This makes me so angry, reminds me of our own stupidity and the selfishness we’ve endured for the past eight years. Politicians who say they are for the country but are only interested in maintaining power.
That said, articles like this one give me hope, hope that change is possible.
I wish I had your courage. Just look at the sea of green out there on the internet. The world hears you and supports you…
