Obviously other countries would like to go in and help the people, which would result in a situation similar to Iraq today. But in my opinion, the best solution would be for the Iranian people themselves to unite and change the government themselves. As we've already learned, this would be a bloody and costly revolt, but it would also unify and strengthen the people to a common cause. My impression of the Iranian population is that they are generally well educated and could tackle the task of setting up their own democratic government that represents the people. I hope that this recent election was the rock that chipped the windshield of the Iranian religious government and spreads till it has to be replaced.
