1. How about naming a street after Neda Aga Soltan?
Tahl   (08.11.11)
Something tells me not to hold my breath waiting for this. Here's Iranian logic for you: it's ok for us to shoot our own people in cold blood, in order to protect our tyranny, but it's "Zionist terror" when an American tourist in Gaza dies playing chicken with a bulldozer.
2. Israel names bomb after Bushehr reactor
Robert ,   NY USA   (08.11.11)
and dog poop shovel after Ayatollah Khomeini. So, Rachel Corrie saved Iran from Saddam's nukes? If not for Israel, Iran could name all their streets "closed, nuclear fall out". Persian twits!
3. Good idea
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (08.11.11)
It is nice that the Iranians honor Rachel Corrie, the all-time Darwin Award champion.
4. Another idea...
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (08.11.11)
Why doesn't Israel respond by naming a street Stuxnet?
5. This is a good thing...
Stu ,   Toronto   (08.11.11)
I'll always remember that brave brave woman as I'm driving down Tehran's new Pancake Boulevard!
6. To: Eaglebeak at No. 4
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.11.11)
Lie down. I think I love you.
7. The arabs killed her to make her a martyr . They love martyr
(08.11.11)
martyrs
8. TWINS
zionist forever   (08.11.11)
Iran is run by an idiot who loves Israel's enemies. Rachel Corrie was an idiot who loved Israel's enemies. If Rachel only had a beard she & Ahmadinejad could be identical twins... then again there the Middle East already has to many monkeys.
9. #1 - we should do that
William ,   Israel   (08.11.11)
Name a few streets after Neda, Salman Rushdie, the son of Hamas founder who turned Christian....
10. HER POOR PARENTS
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.11.11)
Her parents must be thrilled, I say that sarcastically. I don't think even her parents would approve of Iran hijacking of her name. No matter what you think of her politics, which personally disgusted me, I believe Rachel herself would not want this. I doubt whether her parents are thrilled that an enemy of world peace, an enemy of our country and a country that routinely kills their own dissidents. would put their daughters name on a street in Iran.
11. What did they name the street?
Froike ,   Brooklyn NY   (08.11.11)
"Useful Idiot Blvd"
12. Rachel Corrie's death was an iranian plot against Israel.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (08.11.11)
Using the logic of the persians this must be true. And #4 and #5 and #9 and #11 ALL great ideas.
13. Rachel Corrie's gloire
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (08.11.11)
It is a traditional way of the antisemites to make heroes from those who lost their life in their dirty fight against the jews. For instance Horst Wessel and Wilhelm Gustloff.

Ambition can Creep as well as Soar,a complete waste of Life.
15. Thanks. That's where she belongs.
Ypip ,   Canada   (08.11.11)
16. Anne Frank and Rachel Corrie both died at the hands of evil
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.16.12)
17. What About Dumbo, Bozo & Elmer Fudd Streets?
Em Zar ,   NY, NY   (08.28.12)
Maybe they weren't as dumb as Rachel Corrie, but at least they didn't actually have brains.
18. True. Anti-Semitism is Evil.
Em Zar ,   NY, NY   (08.28.12)
The anti-Semitism which fueled the terrorist bombings against Israeli civilians (which the IDF tried to prevent), and that which fueled Hitler, are one and the same: Evil.
19. #16 Not mine, but I agree with it.
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (08.29.12)
