I don't buy it.  The United States has acted abroad since gaining independence.  The United States has maintained a presence in the Middle East for over 60 years at this point.  (Might call that "screwing around with other nations")  Interestingly enough, Bin Laden and his followers did not hate the United States until the 1990's when they were slighted by Saudi Arabia and then US troops were stationed in the holy land. 


It is not "screwing around with other nations" that is the problem.  In fact I would hardly call the groups that we are fighting loyal to any nation in particular.
