The middle east isn't one homogenous entity, some places were unfavorable and others were ok

Where did I say that?

There is a difference from being disliked and being loathed.

Never before has an American Secretary of State been made to wait a day prior to meeting the Leader of Saudi Arabia, met by a minor functionary on an official visit (Turkey), cannot be seen in public with the King of Jordan, etc.

EDIT: Just for clarity, I don't think it is a great thing that China and Russia are expanding their influence in this region.
