If this were the case, why did the Islamic extremists attack us in the first place?

You mean on 9/11? In hopes of provoking a suicidally stupid and misplaced response (financially) maybe.
The theory is, our presence in the M.E. is what makes them grow disdain for our country, but in my opinion, that is a cop-out.
Some of them might hate us regardless of our presence, but killing Iraqis over there surely isn't going to give their family members warm, fuzzy feelings inside when they think about America.
Radical Islam will attempt to destroy the United States regardless of what we as a nation do or do not do, internationally. Then it's certainly stupid of us to waste our money in a manner that harms America.
