Well, a few observations:

1. "Iran is going to destroy the grand illusion!" is a great way to get people to say "No, no it is not" and "Can we", "Should we", "Will we", or "Will Iran somehow do that by means that are unclear".

2. It is possible to dislike the regime without wanting to blow it up.

3. It is possible to understand that the transition is going to be terrible even if you want to be on the other side of it.

4. It is possible to end up *worse* after the transition than before.

5. There are plenty of people that are doing very well but that will *claim* to want to smash the state.

6. There are people that are doing really well but that do not realize this and that want to smash the state.
