Only choice
For any democratic future in Iran, she is the only choice around whom
ALL Iranians would and could rally; be they religious minorities, ethnic
tribes, democrats, conservatives, liberals, leftists or fundamentalists.
Secondly, it is about time we put a woman in charge for a while.

Proper dignity
Her Majesty has maintained the proper dignity of a queen in exile. Her
presence at the funeral of King Hussain [of Jordan] showed how much she
must have suffered from years of exile, particularly while His Imperial
Majesty [Mohammad Reza Shah] was ill and could do nothing to stop the terror
going on in his country.
