It seems the iranian people ARE doing the heavy lifting and the government is keeping quite that it's happening, something it couldn't do if the US offered support.

This word support is interesting... to even consider what it implies you should probably do a few things first. Fisrt, why are the Iranian people protesting the Iranian government and second, how are they getting the message out to the rest of the world? I thought this report from BBC was very interesting...

...Kurds are saying the unrest is a sign of frustration over the denial of minority rights in Iran. Chief among these is frustration over the denial of the right to be educated in the Kurdish language... ...When the man's dead body was returned to his family they photographed it and put the pictures on the internet to show he had been tortured. His funeral sparked unrest and clashes with the police for the next week, which then spread to other Kurdish towns...

Now how would you recomend Mr. Bush support them?
