I think you are mixing 2 things. 1. The mullas and the way they have literally destroyed Iran. 2. Iranian culture (not only mulla culture) which is not ready for democracy yet.
In the case of number 2..... go back before the revolution to get rid of the mullah culture as you put it and see how things were. Iran and Iranians had it so much better under shah but it's not like they had a democracy. Shah was a dictator, his father was one, before him Qajars were dictators and go back all the way to 2500 years ago when Mullas didn't even exist. At a time when Rome was kind of democratic, Persia was ruled by dictators. As said, this is embedded in the Iranian culture. It has nothing to do with the mullas or the religion.
You say young people of Iran today are ready for it. I don't know what you base that on but as the example I told you before.....go to any Iranian forum with lots of young active members and see how tolerant they are against each other. Sorry dude but the young people are the children of their parents who themselves were the children of their own parents and every generation learn the culture of each other. Unfortunately it will take a very long time for Iranians to be able to live in a democracy.

The mullah culture that I mentioned (at its peak in Qajar era) was actually more pronounced during the Pahlavi dynasty as a suppressed desire of many who seemed to marvel at the notion of an "Islamic government". With the advent of the Islamic republic and the realization of that notion, most people have discovered the obsolescence of the idea and therefore the mullah culture is waning, especially in the young generation. However progress is a process and not an event. It will take many more years to completely rid the nation of superstition and dogma, but the process has certainly begun. In a way it could be said that in Pahlavi era, the kings were more progressive and wanted to force progress onto the nation, but elements of society were regressive. Now is the opposite, the Islamic republic is regressive and repressive, yet people have finally moved past the superstition and dogma of the mullahs and want freedom and progress. Once oppression and force are no more, this transformation that the society has made can be seen more clearly.
