Not everything is a CIA plot.
Only the things that go wrong IMO

Good point regarding the Iraq situation, forcing Iran to withdraw fighters and money they have invested in Iraq may temporarily ease that situation unless they manage to enlist Arab fighters to come into the fray. It also could leave a power vacuum....
Looks like the Chinese press is jumping in on Iran's side, interesting article:

In the brutal street conflicts of 1979 Ali Khamenei was a lowly seminary lecturer, while Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was a student activist. Both were thrown into prison by the Shah's ruthless secret police.
In their current roles as supreme leader and president, the pair are now responsible for casting hundreds - possibly thousands - of protesters into Evin prison for precisely the reasons they themselves were held three decades ago.

Anyway my thinking on this situation is that Iran is sliding into a civil war.

Yeah, but keeping US forces in the region isn't a good thing.
It is going to kill this country.

I don't think that the CIA has the best interests of Americans in mind.
Any revolution here in the States directed by the CIA would not become a change for the better. Just my opinion of course and really sorta' irrelevant to the topic of Iranian revolution.
Although it is my opinion that the CIA is likely involved there.

Well, off the top of my head, one choice would be to finally realize that their empire building days are over and pull back to the home base.
It's unclear how many people showed up to protest. It is also not yet certain where some armed factions of the government stand. Attacks by Basiji seemed to be plentifully and painfully in evidence. But was the army solidly on the government's side or not? What about the Revolutionary Guard? What of the tank someone spotted? What do we do with the government claim that a suicide bomber attacked the sacrosanct mausoleum of the Imam Khomeini? And of the claim that demonstrators were breaking the ultimate Iranian political taboo, shouting "Death to the Supreme Leader"? Reports echoed on both new and old media said several key protest organizers had been arrested. But had the government succeeded in retaking the streets? Or will there be more resistance today, as Mousavi has apparently requested?
