Short on time this morning, but wanted to post this link to an interview with Isobel Coleman of the Council on Foreign Relations with some interesting thoughts about the role of women in the politics of Iran.
Also a followup thought to what I posted yesterday regarding comparing the murder of Neda Agha Soltan to other iconic images such as the killings at Kent State University or the murder of Meena, a leader of RAWA–it occurs to me that another comparison worth some thought is the way that news of this killing was disseminated–namely via digital video and the digital cameras that brought us the pictures of Abu Ghraib. Something to be said for it being a whole lot more difficult to hide atrocities in the digital age. Thoughts?
