Neda’s death used selectively as a propaganda tool

Neda Agha-Soltan is a young women from Iran who was shot dead while protest­ing against repres­sion in Iran. She has a page on Wiki­pe­dia. Pho­tos and video and of her death have been widely broad­cast by the West­ern media, with copi­ous amounts of faux sympathy.

She deserves our sym­pathy because she appears to be a vic­tim of the latest West­ern bogey­man: Iran. She, as Noam Chom­sky might note, is a “worthy victim.”
