I'll quote from your own post...

"Although peace with Iraq was finally restored in 1988, inner turmoil continued as a debate simmered within Iran between the “reformers,” seeking to relax the clergy’s control over day-to-day government, and the “hard-liners,” seeking to preserve that control while resisting “outside” – primarily western – ideas. These debates often erupted into street demonstrations and even violence."

Proves my point. Iranians may have been fooled into thinking they wanted a theocracy, especially when a theocracy seemed like a good alternative to the Shah. But now, it is abundantly clear Iranians want to be free. They want to be rid of the theocracy and have a real democracy. But they don't have a choice in the matter, because the mad mullahs won't relinquish their power.
