I am an Iranian.

Wed Jun 24, 2009, 2:27 PM
I am sickened and saddened by what I have been seeing in the news recently.
I almost cried when I watched the video of Neda Agha-Soltag.

What angers me most is how many citizens around the globe are apathetic to this inhumanity. We cannot support this, it is too terrible. It recalls Rwanda, Palestine, the Chinese Cultural Revolution, the Guerra Civil in Spain and of course the World Wars.

Haven't we learned anything?

Here are a list of links to videos and news feeds, please distribute them.

What about me? I am a liberated human being; I am an empath, a linguist, an activist and an artist.
Inshallah, I won't falter.

No worries! I'm not actually Erooni but my friend Niousha is and he told me that that flag was the one used in the campaign of Mr. Ahmedfuckface (I can't spell his name for the life of me, lol). The flag I used in my piece "I am a witness" has been popular, at least those colours in that order with sometimes the word "Iran" in the middle. Hence my formatting. Btw I downloaded your piece for my background, I hope that is ok. Is that your face in the piece? The entire thing is gorgeous and deeply profound, regardless of the flag.

Absolutely. I'm changing the flag in a few minutes, so if you would like to re-download, it is perfectly fine. I am honored you are using my piece for your background.
