They would be peaceful if we didn't invade them. But no we invaded Afghanistan or sorry the US invaded Afghanistan, Iraq Libya and now Syria but also forays into Yemen Somali Pakistan and we drop bombs on them killing civilians tens of thousands we destroy their infrastructure all of this to protect Israel and prevent them from using other currencies other than the US$ for transactions. And people wonder why they hate us. Well if people dropped bombs on you or invaded your country do you think you might want to go to war with them and kill them? These countries were not a problem prior to 2001. But oh they didn't like the treatment of the Palestinians and they complained about Israel and some even threatened Israel so Israel's proxy the US gets to take them out one by one - Iraq, Libya, Syria and then Iran. And that takes years. And a million or two million will die. But when told 500 thousand children died in Iraq because of the US's no fly zones Madeline Albright was ok with that.
