Besides not being directly relevant, it's also a facile and simplistic view of the situation. Sayyid Qutb, the godfather of al-Qaeda's ideology, was famously "radicalized" by going to a sock hop in Colorado in the 1950s. No economic wars, violent dictator support, et cetera was required.

There will always be crazies, but crazies like Qutb would likely not have as many supporters if they didn't have a wide base of people with real reasons to dislike the US to draw from.
