Bombing Another Moslem Country

I saw an anti-war activist say that the USA has bombed eight Moslem countries in recent years. Besides Iran, the others are Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya, Pakistan, Yemen, and those were all bombed by Pres. Obama in 2016.

He said it is foolish to ask why they hate us. We violate their sovreignty and kill their leaders.

No, that is not why they hate us. CNN reports:

Pakistan has formally recommended US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his “decisive diplomatic intervention” following a spike in violence between India and Pakistan earlier this year.
Maybe the Pakistanis do not hate us.

Iran complains about the surprise attack, but USA policy for about 30 years has been that Iran is not allowed to have an atomic bomb. Iran had every chance to negotiate a peaceful outcome.

Iran did negotiate a peaceful outcome but Trump ripped it up because it was Obama's work. As for the Pakistanis, I'm sure many don't hate America but I suspect this buttering up of Trump is a negotiating tactic.

The Israelis were of the opinion that the agreement would not stop Iran from developing an A-bomb. My guess is that Trump accepted Israel's opinion.
