Like just about everyone with an internet connection, I've been trying to cobble together the information out there on Iran into some kind of narrative. My head is full of soccer players, clerical in-fighting, street fighting, house arrest rumors, Roger Cohen's dispatches (anyone know how he got to stay in Tehran for so long while everyone else was being thrown out?) and Andrew Sullivan's energetic, daily round-up.

It's a lot to absorb. You want to pay attention and you want to understand, with care and nuance, what is going on. This video of Joan Baez singing We Shall Overcome, part of it in Farsi, made it possible, if only for a moment, to think less and hope more.
