Iran needs a democracy, not some crazed monarchy.

You don't know what you're talking about. Don't repeat lines that the liberal-infested MSM has fed you for the past 25 years about the Shah of Iran. They did an excellent job of character assassination that advanced the scheming machinations of Brzezinski - remember him? Carter's infamous NSA. - who hated the Shah and overtly supported Khomeini until things turned ugly, and he and his boss were forced out of office as well, but the horrendous mess that they left in Iran is still with us ALL to deal with to this day.

Depends on the form of Monarchy. England, Japan, Spain are all Monarchies with an elected Prime Minister. Therefore, a Constitutional Monarchy with an elected Prime Minister or President with the power would be ideal.

As to your statement, "Iran needs a democracy, not some crazed monarchy",

1. Althoug Iran has had its share of crazed monarchs, the Pahlavi dynasties - both father and son - were no crazed kings. They were moving the country in the right direction when they were, BOTH, stopped short prematurely. Iran at the time of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was a peaceful, stable, prosperous country in the middle of a region in havoc.

2. Crazed leaders can pop their heads up in any country of the world, under every possible system of governance. I recall a few of them right here in our republic.

3. Iran sure needs a democracy. To be sure Iran was/is/ and probably never will be a Great Britain, or maybe even a Spain - both democracies and monarchists - and it will never be a France or a United States - both republics. But we might be able to pull off a Japan perhaps - a monarchy which was preserved by the foresight of the US generals and the adminstration after complete destruction of the country in WWII - which is democratic, and has preserved its historical heritage and culture of monarchy.
