It’s not because I haven’t been blogging that I haven’t been reading or following up on certain matters that are important to me, one of which being the situation in Iran. The disregard of the rights of the people in Iran who don’t agree with the government has been difficult to watch; paint me naîve, but it’s so disheartening to know that in 2009, there are still millions whose voices can’t be heard.

And now, those who have dared raise their voice in the name of human rights are being tried… And somehow, I don’t expect these trials to be any more just than the reasons why they are being led.

Which bodes, always and again, the question: what can we do to change the world?
