I'd prefer regime change by insurrection too. But the record of peoples rising up against totalitarian regimes with thousands of tanks and dedicated paramilitaries, it singularly bad. The usual result is 5000 to 50000 dead and no change in regime, in days or months. It takes serious commitment to military action, weapons, and may potentially also require US air support, as it did for the northern alliance in Afghanistan. Are you ready for that?
Because the idea that these nuts are going to go quietly because of people in the streets with flowers chanting slogans, is a dream and completely unrealistic, and will not happen. No more than rallies in Tianamen square brought down communism in China, or protests in 1991 toppled Saddam.
Things which can go wrong will go wrong.

As you see the best thing is regime change as we agree. The details can be worked out nad when 85% is against the regime things may go fast!
