Matthew Yglesias put it best in the American Prospect today: "Conservative hawks, who just a few weeks ago were eager to drop bombs on Iran, have not hesitated to take advantage of the recent political unrest to launch criticisms on President Barack Obama for being insufficiently concerned with the welfare of the Iranian people."
You'll have to forgive me if I'm a bit skeptical that some of our resident warhawks are suddenly concerned about the welfare of the Iranian people and don't have any ulterior motives. Furthermore, I have seen absolutely NO evidence that the Iranians actually want the United States to get involved in the situation, and I have seen absolutely NO evidence that the Iranians are interested in fighting a bloody civil war against their government.
Whatever happens in Iran is still up to Iranians to determine, as it should be.
