    Nobody actually knows who kill this woman, that wasn't revealed in the video clip... What is surprising is that it just happened that even though only a dozen or so deaths occurred, one of them took place beside a cameraman who took a film and successfully smuggled it out of the country were Neda's death has been used to support the anti-Govt protests and international agenda to topple the regime. That's another difference between this photo and the other iconic ones, in those photos the details of what took place were always clear, the perpetrators, the background etc.

    Girl will be forgotten about within a week.

    Western News Media attempting to make her a hero is doomed to failure.
    The girl might be forgotton in Iran in about a week but it has to be understood that the propaganda storm surrounding Iran at present is not just for their benefit, but for the consumption of Western populations also, when they used the expression Axis Of Evil everybody laughed, now is their chance to make everybody believe it... Once the govt of the country is wholly demonised then they will claim to be on a mission of liberation (which many who have been duped by the mediaganda campaign in the West will not question) should they ever decide to attack the country. Part of this psych warfare is also convincing us that the Iranians want to be rescued by an invasion or that they want the Shah's son back or whatever. The gist from Western media is that it is the opinions of Iranians on who should run their country that is the only issue, but it's not their only issue, the information war is also about the opinions of Western Populations on who should not be allowed to run their country (the ones who ran it since 79). Neda is a single person but through saturated coverage they can inflate her profile in the human mind until avenging her by killing thousands of anonymous dots in Iran seems like a fair trade.

    A film is being released today on the death of Neda Agha Soltan. If anyone comes across an internet version, a link would be most appreciated.
