I have a friend who grew up in Iran. Her father still lives there, and other relatives. She says that is their way of life, but she is much happier in the US definitely. I am not sure how we can change a nation that lives with this type of government.
I definitely feel sorry for the women there.
I definitely support your suggestions to show the people of Iran that there are other people worldwide who stand in support of them.
I could not imagine what life would be like if all of a sudden I was not allowed to read or go outside unless accompanied by a man and forced to dress a certain way. This is some of what the women in the mideast face. Not just in Iran but other areas, too.

Bloggers are posting on the internet vowing that Nina's death will not be in vain. There is now a "face" for people to rally around. Protests seem to be increasing all over the world as the violence in Iran escalates. The one thing we can be hopeful of is that the world isn't ignoring what is going on.
