Myriad voices with diverse and varying opinions exist in Iran. Unfortunately, the diversity of their opinions is not heard in the public sphere. When an opinion differs from that of the ruling regime, the voice is silenced, even if it comes from the mouth of a small child.
The announcer on a live Iranian child's program asked a child caller the name of his toy monkey. The child responded, "Well, my father calls him Ahmadinejad."
The popular show, which was on the air for seven years, is now canceled. I wonder what happened to the boy's father.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
