I would agree with that. Unfortunately, history tells us the citizens will almost certainly end up worse off.

Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Libya. All are various shades of failed states where terrorists now thrive.

Iran is at least as complex as these other countries, probably more complex. How do you get a government that can govern such a diverse country?

But that is what happens long-term. In the short-term if the US wants regime change I think it has to be boots on the ground and a long war, probably like Afghanistan.
