Apart from removing the first democratic government in Iran, supporting the house of Saud, invading Iraq, supporting Israel.....

Catwoman one thing to note is that nation states will, by their very nature always do what is best for them, principles be damn which is exactly why the US has supported more despotic and cruel regimes than anyone else - they're better at it.

As far as I am aware Al-Queda's goal was to destroy the great satan and establish a pan-islamic states that consisted of most of the middle east and asia. Or something. Thing is we're not dealing with Al Queda anymore, hell even the media (usually last to the party of these things) has started to realize the only ties most of these groups have to Al Queda is thinking along the same lines, most have their own little goals and targets.
