I'm not from any of those countries, but the wording struck me as really unfortunate. People from those countries could likely take it as a slight upon themselves. I think it is fair that people, who are not causing these "problems" themselves, identify themselves with their country because of its history and culture, even though they possibly do not agree with their government's policies. They already have to suffer enough because of the policy of many Western countries towards their country.
