I am basically on the same page as you. There is really no way to prove it but for as educated as Iran is and wants to be, resistance against the clerics may happen, especially if they keep making an ass out of themselves.

As Iran becomes more educated, I would expect them to start to head towards democracy whether or not they pick up western culture in the process.

I don't know about that. They are already quite educated in many areas. I just think that the power of the radical religious elements in the Middle East are to strong and weld a huge influence over the common man. People like to say the US is no different, I don't buy that.
