Revolution in Iran? I think you mean "liberation", not revolution. Iran right now is what happens when a country in the middle East has a people's' revolution. They don't turn into America clones, they turn into Islamic theocracies who hate the country (America) that supported and most likely installed the brutal dictator that suppressed the people for so long. Iran is what would happen to Saudi Arabia, or probably even Iraq if there were revolutions. Everything isn't as simple as they try to make it seem to you. You guys supported the Shah, Saddam, the Saudi Royal family, etc etc, when the people rise up, they rise up against you because you've been supporting the people who suppress them. Revolution is the last thing America wants in the Middle East, or anywhere else for that matter. They want to and do install dictators who are friendly to US corporate interests, don't kid yourself by thinking otherwise.
