On a tip from David Weinberger I've been reading the blog written by the Vice President of Iran.

I recommend you take a look. It's had a real impact on me. He comes across as witty, compassionate, intelligent and willing to express personal opinions. The guy comes across as... a human being like the rest of us. This one blog has had more impact on the way I think about Iran and Islam than anything I've read in mainstream media lately.
