I've never seen that as causation by any professional IC people. It's action reaction simple as that. You can't be unjust to people and expect them you just sit there and take it. So when Madeline Albright says it worth 500,000 Iraq children dying on off chance she can make Iraqis revolt with blockade set upon them it pisses families off big time. When we support brutal regimes like KSA who chops your head of if you defy regime and roll out the red carpet in Washington for the zillionaire kings and people get nothing off that oil. It pisses people off. Basically 200 years of colonization never stopped. We just use strong men now to be our enforcers. Guys we no longer like or don't tow the line we overthrow Assad, Saddam, Kadaffu, etc. That pisses people off. Then there is Israel and supporting them to violate basically every rule in the international law books.
The west has made enemies of a lot of people through gross injustices and everything gets worse every year for us because of it like that wiki page shows. I think we need a new strategy because what we are doing isnt working - at all.
At this point , with terrorist armies, and generations raised to hate the west it will be tough. But I think doable acting just, supporting just rulers, reparations and so forth. Or we have perpetual war forever maybe lose by going broke. (that was Osama strategy BTW break us financially with forever war - looks like we bit hook line and sinker)
