The best bet is to bide our time, if the opposition gets the upper hand then I expect Obama to bring the full endorsement of the US to bear. If it collapses sadly into mass violence against the population I expect stronger response as well. Until those tipping points this is in the Iranian people's hands.
And the Iranian people are the one's twittering and blogging, etc. They are talking to us, the citizens of the free world, not out governments, they know we are here and bearing witness to their struggle. This is as much about revolutionizing the role of citizen as it is of overturning an election or government. The repercussions of this event might prove to be massive and bottom-up.
And remember the first Iranian Revolution took one full year to play out.
