Many in Iran welcomed the Ayatollah Koumeini and the overthrow of the Shah. Do these same people now advocate the overthrow of the present regime? What percentage of Iranians would welcome the overthrow of the present regime?

Supposedly, clandestine polling indicates 80% of the people of Iran would welcome the overthrow of the Ayatollahs. I do not have a direct link to this, but you might check any post by DoctorZIn on FR, or go to his web site here:
Regime Change Iran

His site is excellent. You might find his comments on Turkey, posted today, quite relevant to the overall situation as well.

======================================

"Supposedly" "clandestine"? Well, that's certainly convincing.

In spite of the various propaganda threads that pop up here frequently (and have for years - all by ex-pat followers of the shah, Iran's former despot) there is no real world evidence that the iranians are fed-up to the point of rebellion. Ask any of the shahistas for proof and all you'll get is insults. I'd like to see iran change, the world would be safer for it, but nothing out there tells me it's going to happen.
