World peace? World peace??

What a fantastic, irrational idea. The United States is not the "biggest threat" to this unachievable, ridiculous idea. They're the most likely to get involved in conflicts. There will be conflicts anyway, always, as a rule. Whether or not the United States plays a role in creating or worsening or solving a conflict is pretty much a given - we Americans have very influential hands. And having such power comes with great responsibility to always take some blame. We did too much, we didn't do enough, we instigated, we acted too late, whatever. It comes with the territory of being so influential in a more connected world.

I don't think the United States should really care a whole lot about what the citizens of any given country think of us. They should care about what the governments of these people think - that's what actually matters. When the US actually does put boots on the ground, they make a hell of an effort to paint themselves as the good guys to the citizens because only then does it actually matter.
