I certainly wouldn't expect
this from Zeitgeist.com, not from JonBoy, definitely not from
America's Top PR Man Devin, but there is something to the piece. No, I don't want to see Neda die either. And icons can be deceiving. Look at the Napalm Girl (mentioned here), whom hacks of a certain age conjure every night in their sleep. Their P-Ulitzer-winning victory over our side in Vietnam led to hundreds of thousands of non-napalm dead. Already people may think of Neda's death as just another videogame. That may serve the holy cockroaches. We know well enough from
THE CONSPIRACY what happens when people get shot. Yes, there's something pornographic about this obsession with making her an episode of
CSI. At the risk of conjuring a Congressional cliché, let us not remember how Neda died, but how she lived.
