I know that our recent history has been plagued by shitty foreign policy. But your claim needs to be supported with comparative data.
Otherwise, it's simply shoddy thinking ... business as usual for you, as I've come to learn.
In the End of Year Survey 2013 (by Worldwide Independent Network of Market Research & Gallup), respondents from 65 countries considered the USA as the greatest threat to world peace, ahead of Pakistan and China -link.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK
"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
