The beginning, middle and end of the US problem with Muslim majority countries is the issue of the unreserved support the US offers Israeli policy.
Isn't the best way to safe guard Israel and your guilty conscience, to ensure that Israel will be a normal country at peace within and with it's neighbors?
The Iranians are on a Shiite mission from Allah. They want to be the guardians of the three holiest places of Islam, pure and simple
BUT, the Iranians are STILL the world's worst state sponsors of terrorism and changing the US policy vis a' vis the Israeli/Palestinian mess will not change that. The Iranians are on a Shiite mission from Allah. They want to be the guardians of the three holiest places of Islam, pure and simple.

Iran remained the most active state sponsor of terrorism. Iran’s financial, material, and logistic support for terrorist and militant groups throughout the Middle East and Central Asia had a direct impact on international efforts to promote peace, threatened economic stability in the Gulf and undermined the growth of democracy.
Iran remained the principal supporter of groups that are implacably opposed to the Middle East Peace Process. The Qods Force, the external operations branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), is the regime’s primary mechanism for cultivating and supporting terrorists abroad. Iran provided weapons, training, and funding to HAMAS and other Palestinian terrorist groups, including Palestine Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC). Iran has provided hundreds of millions of dollars in support to Lebanese Hizballah and has trained thousands of Hizballah fighters at camps in Iran. Since the end of the 2006 Israeli-Hizballah conflict, Iran has assisted Hizballah in rearming, in violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
Iran’s Qods Force provided training to the Taliban in Afghanistan on small unit tactics, small arms, explosives, and indirect fire weapons. Since at least 2006, Iran has arranged arms shipments to select Taliban members, including small arms and associated ammunition, rocket propelled grenades, mortar rounds, 107mm rockets, and plastic explosives.
Despite its pledge to support the stabilization of Iraq, Iranian authorities continued to provide lethal support, including weapons, training, funding, and guidance, to Iraqi Shia militant groups that targeted U.S. and Iraqi forces. The Qods Force continued to supply Iraqi militants with Iranian-produced advanced rockets, sniper rifles, automatic weapons, and mortars that have killed Iraqi and Coalition Forces, as well as civilians. Iran was responsible for the increased lethality of some attacks on U.S. forces by providing militants with the capability to assemble explosively formed penetrators that were designed to defeat armored vehicles. The Qods Force, in concert with Lebanese Hizballah, provided training outside of Iraq and advisors inside Iraq for Shia militants in the construction and use of sophisticated improvised explosive device technology and other advanced weaponry.
Iran remained unwilling to bring to justice senior al-Qa’ida (AQ) members it continued to detain, and refused to publicly identify those senior members in its custody. Iran has repeatedly resisted numerous calls to transfer custody of its AQ detainees to their countries of origin or third countries for trial; it is reportedly holding Usama bin Ladin’s family members under house arrest.
Senior IRGC, IRGC Qods Force, and Iranian government officials were indicted by the Government of Argentina for their alleged roles in the 1994 terrorist bombing of the Argentine-Jewish Mutual Association (AMIA); according to the Argentine State Prosecutor’s report, the attack was initially proposed by the Qods Force. In 2007, INTERPOL issued a “red notice” for six individuals wanted in connection to the bombing. One of the individuals, Ahmad Vahidi, was named as Iran’s Defense Minister in August 2009.

Iran is the biggest enemy of the USA. I hope that my government does everything in its power to crush the Iranian regime. If I were President of the USA I would spend $B's to destabilize the Islamic Republic of Iran. No tactic would be off-limits in seeking to defeat the mullahs and the revolutionary guard leaders of Iran.

Let us not forget that the regime in Iran is a fundamentalist Shia regime, like the Saudi regime, and they two played a vicious proxy war in Pakistan in years past. The Iranian regime is not necessarily enamored with Pakistan because of the fact that Pakistan is primarily Sunni, and a strong ally of the Saudis. I personally believe Pakistan needs to be closer to the Iran than Saudi Arabia, given that they are our neighbor, share similar security concerns in Baluchistan-Sistan, and are culturally closer to us than the Arabs as well - but I do cannot say that I see a willing partner in the current Iranian regime, or for that matter in many Iranian secularists.

Very disappointing sir. Your are one sensible American poster here so this was not expected from you. Iran has supported Hezbollah but Taliban will not fit in their agenda. Why will they support a Sunni force?
@ your comment
Why you want to destabilize a stable country? It will achieve nothing. It will bring more chaos. Every nation has the right to live.
I am not Anti American but i think American policies have definitely hurt Muslim world.
Sir, I appreciate that you say that, sometimes, I am a "sensible" American poster. However, don't be misled. I believe that my country is moral and ethical. I believe that it pursues policies that my government thinks are best for the USA and for humanity. If our State Department believes that the IRG supports the Taliban, then I believe them. That is, I believe that the evidence they are seeing leads reasonably to that conclusion. I don't think they are making it up. I truly believe that Iran's government is dangerous to my country and that we should do everything in our power to defeat the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and the mullahs that support them. There is no leadership on this earth that Americans despise more than the Iranian government. None.
