To our friends in Iran

and everyone that opened their hearts to us during our visit, and those that were determined to show us your vibrant, elaborate and passionatel country behind the shrowds of censorship, propaganda and stereotyping - thinking of you all, bless your courage and hope peace and liberty bestows soon.

I also think these are particularly poignant observations:

But I am not surprised at all, given how feisty, strong willed and outspoken so many of the young women we had met were, and that even before the recent elections, dicontempt were no longer able to be kept under foils by women & women's rights activists under the current regime. Women indeed would be the sorest losers should the conservatives/fundamentalists retain all powers.
