#1 It could work - the Ayatollah started out with very little. But the odds are against it. The Ayatollah was a self-made man. The Shah's son inherited his status, meaning he's probably nowhere near as able as the Ayatollah. If I were a betting man, I would bet against the Persian prince.

#2 The Ayatollah's grandson is pretty much in agreement with the Shah's boy. If Iran is to somehow reform before we have to take out the nukes, these 2 are likely to play a role.

#3 Iff previous articles about his intent is correct, the Shah's son doesn't appear to intend to restore the Monarchy per se but to lead Iran towards democratic statehood - this does not mean, however, that the family or Clan of the former Shah will not become involved in national democratic politics. Given the on-going threatening rants of MadMoud towards the USA and Israel, the Iranian people may have to go thru a de facto ground war against America before democracy can finally be installed. The Mullahs and MadMoud want their nukes and want it quickly before food- and work riots forces Iran to go the way of famine-happy Commie North Korea.
