Many people who have seriously studied the situation would say, 'YES'. There are many factors involved. First, the US is the world's largest supplier of armament - e.g. , guns, rockets, tanks, explosives, etc. We'll generally sell stuff to anyone who wants to buy it, and we did an AWFUL lot of that back in the day, especially if you came to us and said, 'Please give us guns to kill Commies with', like the Iraqis did, the Iranians did, the Afghans did, most south American dicatorships, most African dictatorships, and so on.

We've got our nose in a lot of other country's business. Many of the people of those countries don't appreciated that. Whether it's democracy vs communism, Christian vs Moslem, Moslem vs Jew, Hindu vs Moslem or whatever, we stick out noses in and tell everbody what to do. Much of the Islamic terrorist argument, whether valid or not in a religious sense, stems from the US Military presence in countries with a strong Islamic faith. For example, the huge US military buildup in Saudi Arabia during and right after "Desert Storm" in the early 90s ticked a lot of Muslims off. It's kinda like, how would we like it if a bunch of Muslims guys came in and set up camp in the Vatican, or parked their camels in the aisles of the National Cathedral in Washington?

They also believe that we try to force Western things on them, like freedom, equal rights, education for girls, rap music, belly shirts, and Dancing with the Stars. This makes them very angry.

Whether or not you think they have any valid argument is beside the point - a bunch of really angry people, who we gave guns to, don't like us very much.

US foreign policy has actually spread terrorism, because we actually supplied forces in the Middle East with weapons to fight off Russia. Now the Taliban is getting a hold of those weapons and are using them against our own troops.
