I'm going to do something irrational and address the original subject of this thread.

As more weeks go by, the image of Neda seems less important, and her importance will be judged largely if any real change ultimately comes to Iran. I think if the status quo remains people will slowly forget her. The parallel that comes to mind is the one of the man standing in front of the tank in China in 1989. But I don't think the image of Nada is that immediately striking.
