The islamo-nazis would have overthrown a democratic Iran EASILY. It would have just been a question of time. The Shah was the dike that kept these morons from taking over and forcing their will upon others.

What you're missing is that a major reason the "islamo-nazis" gained so much support is because the general populace did not agree with the Shah and believed his power to be illegitimate. If someone comes up and says he will overthrow this illegitimate power, people tend to lend support.
