Multiple causes, but America's policies of stealing resources and setting up puppets has greatly increased terrorism and threatened our national security.
The prime cause of a problem does not have to be the first cause of the problem.

It's so much easier if they are evil, and we just have to go kick their ass.

Back in the 1950s, then president Eisenhower commissioned a study to determine why the Middle East hates America. It's conclusion was that they hate us because we set up puppet governments to suppress them and steal their natural resources, and the study concluded that was exactly what we should do because it was in our economic and military interests.
The idiots in the military who did that cost-benefit analysis got it way wrong. Modern terrorism is the direct consequence of their faulty business plan. They didn't have the intelligence to foresee all the hidden costs of using military force for corrupt interests. It's time we rethink this strategy.
