And as you well know, if the U.S waded in right now, it would give the Iranian establishment exactly the propaganda ammo they need. There are already enough people on Twitter right now, saying "this is all a CIA funded coup, you know".There are Ahmadinejad supporters outside the German and British embassies protesting against the outside interference that has sparked the protests.
Respect is a two way street. When political protests in the US turn into "smash people's cars and store windows" type event, the cops do tend to get nasty.
What amazes me is that the women are fighting back- did you see that picture of them descending on those govt thugs? That takes some serious guts on their part, as what they are doing (attacking a man, in authority) would be death sentence for them in Iran.
Let's just conveniently ignore the fact that the current Iranian government is in power as a direct result of US meddling.By the way, inflammatory hate speech is a staple of Ahmadinejad's administration. You'd feel right at home there.

America didn't fail in WW1; France and Britain did. The Treaty of Versailles set the stage for WW2, not WW1 itself.
