Mona and Neda, the precious Iranian angels, were both murdered in cold-blood on a Saturday in June, but decades apart.

Mona Mahmudnizhad (September 10, 1965 - June 18, 1983)
Neda Agha-Soltan (January 23, 1982 – June 20, 2009)

No more please. Enough is enough.

Neda Agha-Soltan, the angel of Tehran, a 26 Year old woman, was murdered last year because when Mona Mahmudnizhad, the angel of Shiraz, a 17 year old girl, had gotten murdered 27 years earlier, Iranians did not make a vow that it would never happen again.

For many years, I’ve been lurking around Iranian.com, enjoying its philosophy of openness and especially the contributions of my compatriots and others. Perhaps, out of selfishness, I have never bothered to blog or contribute in any way. There have always been people smarter and more enlightened than me from whom I could learn. Thankfully, there have also been plenty of idiots who would keep me entertained for hours on end. I had the best of both worlds.
