Nice summary!

No, I'd say a theocratically controlled democracy is better than a theocracy by a long shot. However, it seems pretty unstable, IMHO since the people have no control over the theocratic portions of the government, right? So if a power hungry fundy cleric got control over things it could send the whole thing hurtling back in time to the dark ages. You only have to look to the Taliban in Afganistan to see what that is about.

But still, the revoltette was kind of exciting and hopefully Iran will shed the theocrats in the future. It is nice to see there is at least some sort of movement in that direction.
