Fred Comella: Iranian yearnings

01:00 AM EDT on Friday, July 3, 2009

In every person’s heart lies the God-given yearning to be free. In Iran, years of tyrannical government have taken their toll on a confused and disenchanted people. Now, as they cry out for what is rightfully theirs, they are bludgeoned, beaten and shot down in the streets of their own country.

Rise up, people of Iran. The tyrants will not go quietly. Take back your nation. Free yourselves to live in peace without fear. Free yourselves and take your rightful place among other free nations so you may control your own destiny. Do not let the dreams and aspirations of women such as Neda Salehi Agha Soltan be washed away like her blood from the street.

People of Iran, it is your time in history. For the sake of your children, do not let it pass.

FRED COMELLA
