1. I am SHOCKED...

That either one of the "reformist" are still alive today...I hate to say it but I honestly think one or both will be killed soon. If so, I can only imagine what the reaction might be? Maybe the potential reaction to one or both of their deaths is why they are still alive?

I wish the Iranian People all the luck in the world in their struggle to break free from the Theocracy that owns them.
