Neda

I just tried to watch the video of this woman Neda dying in the streets of Tehran and was unable to roll forward with it as the blood started to spurt out of her nose and spill into a puddle on the ground. It is at once like and not at all like the movies.

The situation in Iran is rather tricky for us. We obviously can't just roll the tanks in and declare victory like we did in Iraq. And yet, we'd all like to see the regime fall. This may be the midnight phone call for Obama, but it's ringing all day, every day.
