Oh? Fundalmentalist Islam is increasing its influence in every muslim county in the world. Even Turkey, whose secular, govt lost the last round of elections. And Iran would have been the lone muslim country in the world to have resisted that movement?

First of all, 'increasing influence' is very different from 'easily overthrowing' a democratic regime. Second, you made it sound like the fundamentalists would have taken over anyway a long, long time ago. Third, why do you think that fundamentalist Islam is getting support if it's not because of dissatisfaction with the current leadership of the country?
Also, my mom was born in Iran and my grandparents both lived through the Shah's regime until the revolution. Although much of my family had left already, the rest of my family left the country after Khomeini came back. So forgive me if I don't take your word for the state of affairs in Iran over the past 50 years.
