I'm curious - when exactly did you interview "most people in the world?"
Let me help you out... the ignorant people in the world believe we are a bigger threat than Iran. Those with at least half a brain do not.

I dispute your premise. Where are the "facts' supporting your statement that most people think such a thing?
17000 people in 15 countries is barely 1000 per country in a world population of 6 BILLION and over 100 countries.

No they are not wrong.
For the statistically inclined: The repugs mustered about 64 million votes in 2004. (51% of 126 million. 126 million being total votes cast). The USA has 296 million people. 64 million is 21.6% of the country. On a worldwide basis 64 million is 1.06% of 6 billion. That's not f*cking democracy. Dare they impose their stupid views on others?

well, the americans seem to feel they have a right to run the world, poisoning crops, killing people, taking what they want, and they have the firepower to back it up. part of why you see all these little radical countries trying to arm up, only to have their stick batted away by the bully with the gun. They seem to feel the world should be grateful for their "protection"

in a way yes and another no
yes because we are the most scary democracy in the world
and no because we only get into war when asked or someone threatens our way of life
