Who Will Stand With Iranians?
The Washington Post / Afshin Molavi
04-Jul-2009 (one comment)

We may split on what Obama should say or do, fearing the effects for the protesters or our nation, but that should not stop Americans from demonstrating solidarity. Last month I attended a candlelight vigil to honor those who died fighting for freedom. The gathering was somber yet hopeful, but it was still too narrowly Iranian. We need more Americans -- African Americans, Asian Americans, conservative Americans, liberal Americans, red-state Americans, blue-state Americans. If there is one issue that politically polarized America ought to be able to rally around, it is the gallant struggle of Iranians.

You have to do it yourselves, Fred. You are the ones who have to convince them to stand with you.

Look at the author. She is doing it and she is Iranian.
