Iran’s New Voice
A wise person once said “Change is inevitable - except from a vending machine”. And it is with that spirit that president Ahmadinejad announced his new reform policies, in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of the Middle East.
Recognizing that no society can possibly be built on a denial of individual freedom, and that the best road to progress is freedom’s road, Ahmadinejad’s new policies represent a dramatic shift in Iran’s policies.
The news was met most enthusiastically by women - long denied equal rights by the constitution - and religious and ethnic minorities - particularly the Baha’is. After all, if we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.

Outstanding! Please God, let it happen.
Awesome. I hope we can chill soon.
Great work!
At this time, a clip of this sort seems totally out of touch with reality.
But the truth is that it is precisely extremist thinking, wherever it is to be found, that is out of touch with reality.
And the reality is that the world is one, and that we either come together as one, or else we will surely fall apart, even as we continue to believe what we want to believe.
Hi,
We recently published an interview with leading Iranian dissident journalist Akbar Ganji about his life, his political activism, and the future of his homeland. Based on the content of your blog, we thought you might be interested in checking out the conversation. You can view it at http://bostonreview.net/BRwebonly/ganji.php
Have a great day,

Nissim,
Actually, I believe satire to be a very effective medium for delivering messages. While one’s initial reaction is to laugh, it tends to have a long-lasting effect, leaving us to ponder upon what we just read.
Boston Review,
Thank you for the note. We will be sure to check it out!
