You completely miss the point.

Islamic Jihad is taking place around the world - not just in Iraq, and certainly not just where the US is involved. The US has nothing to do whith many of the countries being destoyed by attempted Islam rule, government, and terrorists.

Well, certainly the US didn't cause all the terrorism in the world. The islamist fundamentalists are opposed to the Western world in general and as the US is the dominant representative of Wester-world lifestyle, it's their natural concept of an enemy.

But the foreign policy of the US certainly wasn't always helpful either. I don't even want to talk about the mess in Iraq here. Unfortunately there are manye examples in history when the US (and the West in general) supported terorists or dictators if it seemed useful at that time. Bin Laden and his comrades were trainded and equiped by the CIA to fight the Russians in Afghanistan, just to name one prominent example.
