Look, *you* were the one who brought up the fact that we were giving money to Middle Eastern countries: "What countries do you speak of that we have brought hell to? Afghanistan, or Iraq? Hell was already there long before we set foot there. The rest of the middle eastern countries, we have just poured billions of dollars into either in aid or for oil." As far as you were concerned, the people should be grateful to us for all this loot rather than hating us. That was the context of your comment.
