Great story, kristinn!!! Little things can make such a difference.

Last summer I happened to be attending a meeting just outside DC on a day when a pro-Iran freedom rally was scheduled. Before I'd left I'd looked at the train schedules and realized I could make the rally. An Iranian friend gave me a Sun&Lion flag (NOT the flag of the mullahs!) to take so I could show American support.

Sadly, two trains in a row broke down, delaying me by hours. When I got there, it was long since over. All I have is this -- and I had to explain to the woman to whom I'd handed my cellphone to take this picture what it was all about.

"There is only one force of history that can break the reign of hatred and resentment, and expose the pretensions of tyrants, and reward the hopes of the decent and tolerant, and that is the force of human freedom."
George Bush, 2005 Inaugural Address.
