[edit] A great man
I can not believe he is dead. The news was so sudden and unexpected. He was a great man. One wonders if men like him will ever be replaced in Iran's political system. He was a true man of honor, a true democrat. Losing people like him makes you think. Who is left to fight for the people in Iran? Who is left to fight for freedom? I think there is much more that should be said in this article about his efforts for freedom of the press when he was deputy minister under Khatami. Many younger Iranians, the 3rd generation as we call them in Iran, the ones that are 16-20 years old now, they might not really know who he was and what he stood for. Those of us who knew him have a responsibility not to allow him to be forgotten. Not to allow the ideas that he stood for to be forgotten. Khatami wasted the greatest men that he had during his presidency, and now they are gone forever, one after the other. Is true democracy for Iran just a dream now? Is there any hope left for this once great country? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.30.139.132 (talk) 18:11, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
