"That doesn't mean we shouldn't watch and link and retweet. But it does probably mean we should be awfully wary of enjoying a frisson of self-congratulation when we do, or getting so swept away by the emotional momentum of someone else's fight -- I've seen several bloggers express excitement and even a twisted sort of envy while watching the intensity of the Iranian people's passionate political engagement -- that we lose sight of just how much we don't know and are not actually experiencing. We are not obligated, as compassionate people, to watch the video of Neda's death, but I think we are obligated to acknowledge that not watching, not being there, is an incredible luxury. I am not Neda. Neda is not my daughter. And I am profoundly fortunate to be able to say those things."

Just add the introduction and the end to sugarcoat the real opinion to avoid being labeled as anti-freedom or iran apologists, etc.... you know those politicians loves these name calling things.作者: MoiRhapsody 時間: 2009-6-23 22:16
我想作者的原意是，別裝作很懂的樣子，別太濫情，別只站在安全島上對在交通意外的傷者大叫:"I feel you man!"
