US policies haven't always been the most upstanding and outstanding....but they were considered to be (at the time) in the best interest of the US.
Now, as to other, possibly more fundamental reasons for the Islamic terrorists' motivations.
Look at their socisety. They have marginalized half their population - their women - by making them third-class citizens. Thus, they have fallen far behind the societies (like the US) that make use of their ENTIRE populations for arts, literature, and productivity in the business world. I believe one of the fundamental reasons they hate the US is because they are jealous (sp?) of us, our prosperity, and the mobility that our society brings to ALL of its citizens.
They refuse to look introspectively at why they have fallen so far behind, and thus strike out at the most convenient target - the US.
We also are a very tolerant society - allowing many religions, sexual lifestyles, the ability to seek a better lot in life - all things they don't have. They are exceptionally intolerant, with the extremists' position being that every person should convert to Islam or die. I don't hear even the most strident conservative Christians advocating anything like that.
The only change in US policy that will satisfy these criminals (even the Geneva Conventions do not allow killing of innocent civilians in war) is foroure entire country to convert to Islam, and for us to subjugate every woman to a life of servitude and ignorance. It is obvious that no amount of talking will change their minds (warped as they are), so we must use force to make them understand that we aill not allow that to happen.
While I personally am troubled with the invasion and occupation of Iraq, the free world had to put the Islamic world on notice that there is a limit and we are willing to fight and die to maintain our way of life. Yes, we have lost a lot of good men (and women) in Iraq, and will never know for sure whether losing those troops saved us anything here, but it did draw a line in the sand. Maybe in the wrong sand box, but it drew a line nonetheless.
