Roachboy, I would need to do some review of what I was reading some time ago about Iran. You might recall that the revolution wasn't entirely Islamic, and that Khomeini ended up doing purges. There were reports fairly recently of strife in Azeri and Kurdish regions of Iran - I'd need to take the time to dig them out.
The US has been self-correcting, but only over time, as I said. Separation of powers and some of the other fine structural features of our constitution go a long way (it was that insight that I was congratulating H&M on). I don't see any breakdown - didn't see it even during the four years that the Repubs controlled the White House and both houses of Congress. Of course, what you think is a "breakdown" can be disputed.
