What a beautiful young woman Neda, that was tragically killed. If the spirit of the leadership was as becoming inside as she was outside, what things they could accomplish for that country. Even Jesus said that the "Gentiles love to exercise authority over other Gentiles" and this is the opitomy of such men with controlling mindsets. Hurray for Iranians who can declare " I Ran not because I Ran for liberty and justice for all, therefore I Stand"!
