To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away.

As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other.

We honor her memory and oppose the war.

NO WAR WITH IRAN! 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 & we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you & your government is much bigger than the difference between you & me. And the difference between me & my government is much bigger than the difference between me & you. And our governments are very much the same... —Marjane Satrapi
