I see what you mean, but careful with that :)

When you start mixing "middle east" and interference of any kind in a sentence, no matter how benign, it's an extremely sensitive topic. The west has blood on its hands there. You could even argue that IS is a result of western influence in the middle east.
I know you said "ideals", which is technically different. But at this point, it warrants at least a footnote.
