Indeed. I'd much rather see Iran as a U.S. ally than not. The current
Iranian "Generation-X" pretty much despises the Mullahs that run the
country, and as often as they can (and in private) embrace western values.

There's a lot of truth in this. Unfortunately aggressive US action
against Iran would tend to reduce it.

Perha[ps the weest could play "good cop, bad cop" with Iran: USA and
Israel threaten to attack, Europe offers to sell (or give) them
modern weapons if they liberalise.
