Communism doesn't work stabily because it's an idealistic government. People don't think it's fair, especially those used to wealth and power, because they don't get more than other people. It would work if the world was perfect, but it's not.

Democracy is easily corrupted, also. Just look at Iraq under Saddam. Germany pre-WWII was Democratic. Hitler got so popular that people quit caring. Any governmental system can be twisted, if the twister is smart or popular enough.

Iran is odd. I don't get it. Khomeini is the Supreme leader and has control of the Republican Guard and the Basij. What powers does he share with the president? If he says no to something, being the supreme leader, does the President have any overriding authority?

The best bet Iran would have if a resolution was passed in the UN that a new government was to be put in place is a few surgical military strikes. I doubt Russia or Chine or NK will bother. They're kind of isolationist, militarily speaking. Well, NK is just plain Isolationist. Anyway, that leaves the US as the largest military force by far. We're spread too thin as it is, and any involvement in an Islamic republic's internal affairs would lead to ANOTHER insurgent response by Islamic terrorism groups. I would say that an all-arabic army should do it, but I doubt they have enough soldiers they're willing to spare for the job, which leaves the EU countries. They're not historically very helpful. They offer a couple thousand here and there, but nothing big. It also makes for a lack of cohesivity having so many different natioinalities on the field.

I'm not sure anything would get done in the end. Bad as the situation is, the people of Iran might have to ride it out while the rest of the world watches in shame and anger.
