I moved to the United States from Iran on my own when I was sixteen. Despite enormous difficulties, I traded the limited comfort of present for the promise of a brighter future because I truly believed in the core principles of the Democratic Republic and freedoms and opportunities it promised. My memories from Iran included the images of my all-boys elementary school officials rounding up kids whose hair was longer than an inch and shaving a "+" sign on their head as punishment for having been influenced by western culture before sending them to classroom. Other images include the religious police banging a young man's head against the wall for wearing clothes with a pro-western message, boys and girls getting arrested in the streets of Tehran every weekend for the crime of being on a date out of marriage, the religious enforcement police telling women to wipe off their make-up or cover their hair and rounding up those who did not comply, and my parents regularly reminding me not to criticize the Islamic regime in school to avoid arrest.

more at link. A very good read. Better than 99% of the trash on DU.

1. Obviously, considering the source, this article bashes Hillary with the same old attacks

Such as "Hillary didn't get Health Care passed in 1994, therefore she's incompetent."

Very, very one-dimensional and superficial thinking.
