Say Iran "wins" its war with Iraq in 1982* -- the war then being "only" two years long -- what then? How are the legislative elections in 1984 and Khamenei's re-election in 85 affected? Does this make Iran more democratic? Could it have cultural butterflies on things like the pronouncements concerning Salman Rushdie? And how would all of this affect Iran's foreign relations over the next quarter century? Anything else I'm not thinking of?

*the PoD is something arrived at here and here -- my thanks to participants in them :)
