To be fair, if you are on the receiving end of airstrikes chances are pretty high they're not trying to make friends with you.

To be fair, US could just stop occupying Iraq if it doesn't like having airstrikes directed against them.

For sure, nobody is smelling like roses in this one. If we spent half as much effort trying to get along rather than blow each other up, this world would be a much better place.
