It's not every Middle East country. And it's often not the civilians. And many of those countries have completely legitimate gripes with the US. However, in a lot of the modern Middle East conflicts (Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, for example) ALL the leaders are hot garbage (even and especially the ones that the US chooses to support), and the world would be better off if they all died in a fire.
