America Needs Iran as a Friend More than Israel

In the late 1970s Pres. Carter changed Americas relationship with Taiwan. Carter thought that in the interest of peace in that part of the world America should only recognize China as the primary representative of the Chinese people.

Well, what about the Middle East? America should make peace with Iran and by extension the greater Muslim world. Israeli interests should only be considered in the broader context of regional and world peace. Iran and the Muslims nations have far more to offer America than Israel.
