The problem for the Middle East, if it cares what the US does and thinks, is most Americans view the Middle East as one monolithic whole, and perceive it through the lens of the worst actors, such as Syria, sometimes Iran, Hamas, Libya and Iraq. Because the states are so distant and alien, the average voter see things simplistically and ignores the dissonance.

What does make Syria, Hamas, Iran and Iraq the worst actors in the middle east and not Saudi Arabia, Jordan or Egypt? May be we can get somewhere if you try to answer this question honestly.
