    For the best line ever ’bout freedom was written by the Iranian blogger, Omidreza Mirsayafi who was tortured and assassinated by the Iranian government for this comment on his blog,

    The first line of his first blog from Tehran in September 2006 asks: “What is freedom?”

    Omidreza Mirsayafi answered his own question. “I don’t know,” he wrote, “but I know someday I will see its shadow falling on my land.”

    I just hope his wishes come true and the light of freedom fall on Iran.
