I know you'd put a lot of time and effort into them and hope you know how much I appreciate it.

She is accused of betraying her country, as if she were calling for a Western invasion of Iran, when she never advocates anything of the kind.<br /><br />Then others, ostensibly even other former political prisoners, have accused her of lying about her past, claiming her story is too improbable to have happened- although others have defended her account. I am sure there are 'wheels within wheels' here but she always comes across to me as a very sincere and kind-hearted person. A friend of mine from Toronto who knows her personally, also says she is a very brave and inspirational woman.Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18230268418171628594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7709719917194381170.post-86727651363288071992012-07-29T13:11:41.405-07:002012-07-29T13:11:41.405-07:00Thank you, Matterhorn.

I once saw a documentary about people in extreme situations and how some were later seens as heroes, but they could not accept themselves as such; and others condemned themselves as cowards and could not forgive themselves for what they had done, but it was not their natural way of being, but rather a desperate response to pain, fear and panic. <br /><br />Thank you for a very thought-provoking post.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00714569232976515363noreply@blogger.com
