To the Iranian People

The Tehran Times, obviously an officially approved news outlet, names Columbian University... "school of scandal", going so far as to challenge our freedom of expression.

Now to the Iranian people... it is not you or your ideology, culture or religion that is objectionable to Americans.

It is your leader, your government that we oppose.

Speaking for myself, as well as many of my fellow Americans...

Let's put politics and leaders aside. We embrace you. We perceive the weight of your shackles. And we empathisize with you. Like most of you, most of us, too, want to live freely in a safe world.

As Americans, we often disagree with our representative government, but we find comfort in knowing that the power to change it lies within us.

I wish you the same.
