You sure of what you said ? Huh
Yes. I think most people know what I meant. At least those not predisposed to hating the USA. And please spare me the I lived in the USA and love it still BS.... All evidence to the contrary.
I'll cut and paste your reply and add a little code to enhance the tone of your voice.
" I

know what I meant."
OK, so you
think. That means you have an opinion, which is based - or biased - on your background knowledge AND your perceptions AND your general orientation on things.
In other words, what you think may not be the truth at all, but merely a perception of the truth based on limited information, generic "everybody knows that..." and "this makes me feel good".
It happens. You're entitled to it. It's called "dreaming", just like thinking that the 2016 Superbowl will be won by Barrow, Alaska.

As for
what people know I am not going to delve into a spitting contest to show who's right and who's left (because nobody's ever wrong, are they?)
AND I'm not going to search Youtube for teary-eyed newscaters trying their best not to laugh in the face of "Mr.&Mrs. Average"
when the mistake Austria with Australia or Barack Obama with Osama Bin Laden... been there, seen that, happens here too...
Just go and ask any High School history teacher or read Wikipedia (it's free, you know!) and see what happened in the Middle east in the last, uh, 6000 years or so.

I will quote Dante to you on this... "
let us not speak of them, just look and move on" I invite you to go and entertain yourself :
"
And I, whose head was girt about with horror,
said: “Teacher, what is this I hear? What folk
is this, that seems so overwhelmed with woe?”
And he to me: “This wretched kind of life
the miserable spirits lead of those
who lived with neither infamy nor praise.
Commingled are they with that worthless choir
of Angels who did not rebel, nor yet
were true to God, but sided with themselves.
The heavens, in order not to be less fair,
expelled them; nor doth nether Hell receive them,
because the bad would get some glory thence.”
And I: “What is it, Teacher, grieves them so,
it causes them so loudly to lament?”
“I ’ll tell thee very briefly,” he replied.
“These have no hope of death, and so low down
is this unseeing life of theirs, that envious
they are of every other destiny.
[[31]]
The world allows no fame of them to live;
Mercy and Justice hold them in contempt.
Let us not talk of them; but look, and pass!”
And I, who gazed intently, saw a flag,
which, whirling, moved so swiftly that to me
contemptuous it appeared of all repose;
and after it there came so long a line
of people, that I never would have thought
that death so great a number had undone."
