You seem to have a number of issues. I think I can handle one by saying that you seem to be misinformed as to what the demonstrators want they ask for "support".
"Screw you. Buy your own freedom with your own blood."
They are not asking for anyone else's blood. This is a misconception. They are asking for moral support. They want to do this without military intervention from the outside. They want this to be THEIR fight.

I guess you didn't read my entire comment, carefully.

My point is that I doubt the Iranians (or other peoples in the region, of that particular "faith") will be willing to spill ENOUGH blood to get freedom.

There is no evidence of it being done, before. They do not have a heretige of "peoples' revolts" or of "democracy."

I will give them moral support, even though they are predominently muslim.

If they prevail, it is a good start for demonstrating something, anything positive about islam.

Time will see if they can first prevail over their mullah oppressors, and then organize a free society.

The rational side of me is not optimistic.
