So what is the prospect for revolutionary (or counterrevolutionary) change in Iran, and does the "inside" option (which I like better, if it can be done) look better than sending the Marines and a couple of Army divisions to knock over the regime, if they won't back off their nuclear-weapons program?

A regime change is not going to be of the deomcratic variety. The mullahs aren't going anywhere. Ahmadinejad might get ousted, but Rafsanjani and his ilk would probably return to power.
