Neda Agha-Soltan,

She could have been my daughter!

A 27 year old Philosophy student killed in the streets of Tehran, in my book this is a tragedy of global proportions.

My heart aches, so much beauty ending so fast.

Hugo Chávez, shame on you!

These events remind me of the Communist Party in Mexico defending Joseph Stalin when he killed Lev Trotsky in Coyoacán.

Ideology does not trump a human life. Ideology is a tool to make sense of the world, not to justify atrocities.

No matter how small each one of us is, we are the children of stars; we are made out of star ashes.

I will remember you; Neda Agha Soltan.
