Regime change may come to Iran without the United States even having to fire a single shot. I am hoping that freedom seeking Iranians will be emboldened by the events in Iraq and take their country back. This also would give them an enourmous sense of pride to have done it without the United States and what a huge message such an event would send to the rest of the middle east. Maybe Im dreaming, but I sure wish it would go down this way.

Well put. Many Iranians still hold grudges over how the power they took in 1979 was instantly taken by the mullahs who flew back from exile.
I not only think we shouldn't invade Iran, I strongly believe we won't have to do so. You want democracy? Get it the old fashioned way--earn it. The US invaded Iraq for legit reasons of national security among others. Doesn't mean that's the solution to every situation. And in Iran's case there is neither the will nor the need when its people haven't even mounted a years-long visible resistance.

I think the constitutional talks in Iraq, coupled with an eventual election of a formal legislature, will ratchet up the heat quite a bit. If the Iraqis get it right, the Iranian people, overwhelmingly young and generally well educated, will find the allure of their new democratic neighbor irresistible and demand they have the same privilege. At least I hope that's the case.
