Iran, Iran So Far Away

...
Reading this piece at Time.com about possible war with Iran, I was struck by this passage:

Some U.S. foes of Iran's regime believe that the crisis of legitimacy that the ruling clerics would face in the wake of a U.S. attack could trigger their downfall, though others are convinced it would unite the population with the government in anti-American rage.
Can someone give me an example in recent history, say the last 100 years, of the former happening rather than the latter? Not specifically in regards to Iran but when any nation attacks another.

Yes,

They'll be greeting us with flowers as we roll down their highways.
