I mean their are a lot of accusations, but where is the proof? If their is no proof, then why risk supporting the losing side? That seems like an incredibly stupid thing to do. That would be like invading a country without getting proof they had WMD's. Just a stupid, stupid thing to do.<br /><br />As for why Obama hasn't said anything let me alter a quote of his.

Obama shouldn't be seen to meddle. The US has meddled enough in domestic affairs in Iran, and I'll bet that everyone over there - from Ahmadinejad to Moussawi to the girl wearing green protesting to the baton-wiedlding Basiji - is a) quite awake to that and b) bitter. <br /><br />It's been mere hours since all this began, and you've already run out of patience?

Shall we promise aid (like Hungary '56)? Shall we declare solidarity (as with the opposition to Chavez a couple of years back)? Or possibly prepare to help out, as in Mogadishu?
