Obama must speak out on Iran!!! Over 150 killed for DEMOCRACY

I never thought I would say this, but for once I agree with Ruben Navarrette, Jr. While usually I feel it is one of my missions in life to provide the most scathing comments possible to him, I am grudgingly forced to give him kudos for have the cajones to speak out against Mr. Obama's lack of speaking out concerning the situation in Iran.
Personally, I find it a very big let down. As the American Hegemony, we have a responsibility to say no, this is not acceptable. This is not the case of us trying to intervene in a situation that has been fabricated or blown up. This is a serious cry made by a people who one year ago were chanting "DEATH to AMERICA" - now - it is "DEATH to the Dictator." We have nothing to gain here except the redemption and return to our status as 'the city on the hill' in the public opinion of the world. Otherwise, regardless of who was leading us as the time, it simply looks like Americans are only concerned with dirting their hands when there is profit involved. No, our past sins make us responsible for the fate of democracy. We should be making a strong call for UN efforts to put down the civil rest in Iran. A government that has lost the support of the people has no right to rule.
