Relations between The United States and Shia Iran.

In my humble opinion, the differences between the United States of America, and the Islamic Republic of Iran has a history, which precedes the history of the rule of the last Shah of Iran. The United States, has been on amiable terms with the Sunni states like the United Arab Emirates, and at one time in history, was also on amiable terms with the Shah of Iran, at the same time. This was unacceptable to the Shia population of Iran, which was much under the influence of the Ayatollah's, who are the guardians of the Shia following in Iran. The Iranian's had no personal grudge directly with the United States. Perhaps, the Ayatollah's felt that The United States of America would make the interests of Iran secondary, to the interests of the United Arab Emirates, and other Sunni dominated Muslim states. This might be because, the United States was dependent on the oil supplied by the United Arab Emirates, and also Iraq, which also, then, had Saddam Hussein as President. I am sure that the United States had also deliberated on this, but on second impressions, I believe, that this might have escaped the United States administration, then, considering the beliefs and actions of the United States on the matters of Iran, now. How this could have escaped the consideration of Mr Kissinger, is beyond me. I am sure that he had come to the same conclusions as I have come to, now. I urge the United States administration to not consider immediate material self interest, and to work to have good relations with all Sunni and Shia Muslim states all over the world. The Iranian's have as much of a varied history, as do the Jewish democracy, and Muslim states, all over the world. The mistrust between Shia and Sunni, must be made into a bridge of trust, and the United States has the power to achieve this. The United States must also remember, that due to the Middle East War's between Israel and other Muslim States, the Shia populated Beruit, also suffered because of the military action of Israel, if I am not mistaken. It seems to me, that the Cold War foreign affairs policy, on the part of the United States, was that the Cold War should extend indefinitely, while the opposite view was taken by Mr Mikhail Gorbachev, the architect of Glasnost and Perestroika. The United States was comfortable with the international status quo, which was brought about with the Cold War. I do not see, that NATO wanted the Cold War to end, hence the royal mess, that the world finds itself in.
