I don't know if that's Iran Envy.
I think that status isn't so much about admiring the Iranian protest, but instead criticizing the Americans who are speaking out about Iran and were complacent when people THOUGHT/THINK that Bush stole the 2000 election.
I can see how some would call that hypocritical. Similarly, some Americans do international poverty outreach when we have children and adults in America who are starving.
The difference is that many consider America to be on the higher end of the democracy (and economic) scale as compared to other nations. So, perceived injustice here will pale in comparison to injustice overseas to those Americans who think internationally.
I personally think it's more important to take care of our nation before caring about others' affairs. But, I also know that what happens in Iran will impact America politically, economically, etc.
