Sun Tzu, I'll be the first to admit that US foreign policies (or should I say the policies of the CIA?) have been often misguided, I mentioned myself earlier the Allende overthrow, and I could mention as well that the Cuban missile crisis would have not happened if the Bulganin ultimatum against our allies (UK and France) was responded to differently, but all this is water under the bridge, none of these examples you cite connect the burning hate to the US to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, except a minor "commonality" of enemies for these extremists. If Israel would have lost the the 73 conflict and been eradicated, those extremists would still be trying to terrorize the US. As Mubarak himself stated, Bin Ladin is simply a "megalomaniac".
