But see it's not just recent policy, don't forget the storming of the US Embassy in 1979 under Jimmy Carter. The first WTC bominb in 1993, the Embassy bombings around the world throughout the 90's, The marine barracks in Suadi that got bombed in the 90's, the USS Cole, etc etc, all of which occured before present US policy in Iraq.

There has been terror groups operating under the nose of US intelligence groups for decades, with the occasional freezing of assets, and declaring of open support for several being illegal, this all says nothing about where loyalties or sympathies are placed, and whenever you hear a spokesman for a muslim advocacy group talk they are very careful to dance around issues in a manner that would be the envy of most politicians, and makes John Kerry look like a clumsy dolt.

The main problem is that we never thought to try and gauge where sympathies lay within our muslim groups until we really got serious about the "war on terror" and now our actions are widening the schism, or at least that's what the muslim groups are claiming as the cause.
