Marwa al-Sherbini, a 32-year-old Egyptian national, stabbed to death in front of court. Where is the Independent voice and of course the concern of Europe. The European market sees no buyer for this piece on news.

There were 8 security persons of Iran, who were also killed during the same very violence. But world chose the murder of an innocent girl only to exploit and incite emotions against Iran. Those security men were also the brothers of sisters like Neda Solatni. Dont know why moderate voices never rise for those.

My heartfelt prayers go out to Neda Soltani's family for their loss & sacrifice. Like many of our American Military, may she not die in vain, but may freedom ring–loud & clear throughout Iran. Good night twitterverse!

DLS, do you think you could be any more cynical? When innocent people are killed an emotional reaction is normal and appropriate… at least among people who are capable of empathy. One can feel and express feeling without abandoning intellect. As for your continuing delusion about being the voice of maturity, that ceased to be amusing long ago. It's time you developed a new shtick.

The LA Times has an article about her on their site, “Family, friends mourn Iranian woman whose death was caught on video.”

dear Dorian. . .rarely do i disagree with one of your comments, but on this one????. . .

I think what is happening with the people in Iran, young and old, male and female along with the the social networking as one the most interesting newsworthy stories on this year. . .This is social change that is signaling a new and growing voice of the power of the people, rather than power over the people. . .these are the little folks that are the faces of global change. . . as many years as they have been repressed, i hoping this is an opening , especially the women and the children. . .

but then Dorian i may be naive and my mind of fond opening through the heart?

also did you look at the video? i do not think this is a staged story like the Kuwait baby story, looks like the deathing experience and face of a young woman . . .

"How much of this is the Kuwati baby incubator story all over again?"

With the emotionalism and sensationalism, sadly, we've not all outgrown this. More specifically, in addition, this mainly-young-people's "cause" has been adopted by the lefty kiddies here (along with their favorite techno-toys).

Fortunately, Obama (even though subject to attack by the Left as well as by the Right) is behaving okay.

"How much of this is the Kuwati baby incubator story all over again?"

I had the same thought over the weekend, given all the emotional hype we're being treated to about this and so many other details (rivaling the silly childishness about the "social networks" and Twitter, etc.).

There's nothing we can do and little we should really be doing other than wait and see how this all ends.

Just a question.
How much of this is the Kuwati baby incubator story all over again?
Back during Desert Shield we were treated to a young woman testifying before the UN about Iraqi soldiers removing Kuwaiti babies from their incubators in order to send the incubators back to Iraq.
It later turned out that the woman was the daughter of a Kuwaiti diplomat and that she had not even been in Kuwait during the Iraqi invasion and the incubator theft never took place.
It was a story cooked up by the advertising agency hired by the Kuwaiti government to sell the war to the US public.

No much of the reporting from Iran are low quality vid's and audio with zero second sourcing.
As such they have the veracity of a rumor or gossip.
If it was any other subject it would never be reported as fact and would always be accompanied by the label "unconfirmed or unverifiable report" from a source who's veracity we can not confirm.

While crying on the death of an innocent galvanized by the most intelligent stupid of all times-mosavi, it should be understood that there are a lot of internal and external actors who want this movement to be coloured with blood. If mosavi does not believe in the Iranian regime, why he is asking for re-elections. Those who have done some thing with elections would do the same thing again. Who is gonna stop them. Mosavi knows it very well, but his intentions are only to spread chaos and instability.
