I take pride in the maturity of our wonderful people

I live in the U.S. For 30 years after the Revolution, Americans whispered about us with suspicion and distrust. They viewed us as the elements of the theocratic regime that has defamed our nation with their shameless acts.
However, during the last couple of weeks, the world watched for themselves how peaceful, how civilized, how mature, how resilient, and how sophisticated the people of Iran are. They also watched for themselves how brutal, how ruthless, how inhumane the power mongering rulers of this country are.
I mourn the loss of precious lives on the streets of Iran, but I promise you, their blood has not been wasted. These martyrs gave a totally different image of the true Iranians to the entire world. Now the outside world has respect for, and sympathy with, the noble cause of the Iranian people for liberty, freedom, and democracy. The future is bright. We should keep the torch aflame, the torch that millions of our fellow Iranians have fueled with their lives.
