The amount of death and destruction caused by the American military (frame this as being partially 'accidental' destruction or 'they meant well' destruction for lib minds) has caused the people in the Middle East to become suspicious and jaded at the idea of a democratic republic or that America is actually good.
In 20 years the strongest nation in the world has failed to prop up a functioning government because American pencil-pushers and politicians won't listen to what the people living there are telling them and don't bother to consider the decentralized-government thinking already there. (This works on both libs and conservatives)
