Political Comment:

“If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s  

that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided  

between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know  

each other, but we talk together and we understand each other  
perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much  
bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference  
between me and my government is much bigger than the difference  
between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.”

I'll put myself on time-out now.
