Revolution in Iran

I think the Iranian experience, especially for young Iranians, is so fundamentally different from ours that it is best for us to watch, learn and try to understand. And all three of these actions requires us to remove our own self-editing cultural and ideological blinders. Americans are so used to having complex trends and events boiled down into sound bites that it has almost become impossible for us to observe and then learn from the observation.

I am learning a lot from observing what we can gather here from what is happening in Iran. Much of it is instructive and inspiring.
