The success of the protest movement will not mean a reshuffling of government offices, but instead mullahs hanging from lampposts and basiji stormtroopers beaten to death in the street by outraged citizens, with revolutionary effects in the Middle East. That is the outcome that best serves our interests, and keeping our mouths shut as the mullahs dig their own graves just seems like the more likely way of getting there.
