There has been more reports in the past couple of days that indicates Syrians requesting help from the Iranian regime in helping to deal with protesters and dissidents in Syria. Apparently Iranians help has been sought in IT and other relevant technology that deals with facebook, twitter and such.
This of course has drawn a condemnation from the US administration and I do believe all other freedom seeking folks ought to join the US in condemning not only Iranian involvement but also the way Syrians have been brutally dealing with peaceful protestors.
The dilemma will be, should Iranians decide to send a division or two of their armed forces at the request of Syrian government to help to deal (i.e. kill) protesters, would US and other Western nations have a leg to stand on in criticizing Syria or Iran for that matter. When Saudi Arabia sent their troops to put down peaceful protesters in Bahrain, where were the US administration and other Western allies in condemning such move? Bahrain, with the help of Saudi Arabia army have killed, tortured and put on show trails often behind close doors those who are seeking more political freedom and equality in Bahrain.
The bad thing about hypocrisy and selective support or condemnation is that you never know when it is going to come and kick you in the ass.
