While obviously, many Iranians are very unhappy with their government, that doesn't equal an outright majority. In fact, many (most?) revolutions aren't even fought by a majority; usually it's a small minority that takes over by defeating another small minority, while the rest are complacent.
Regardless, that huge military you refer to in Iran is composed of... Iranians. They're not foreign oppressors. If the Iranian people don't want these village-shelling assholes ruling over them, they need to stand up and do something about it. These soldiers live somewhere, and have families somewhere. No regime can stay in power without military support.
Anyway, back to my point: Iran's current problems aren't America's fault. Iranians are doing this to themselves, just like Afghanistan's people are oppressing themselves.
