What about all the jihadi killings in non western countries and before 1950s?

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.

Even now you blame America? moron
No. I blame you and the assholes in our military who made bad decisions.
Real Americans like us liberals who oppose using violence to steal resources carry no blame. However, assholes like you are most certainly to blame for harming America through foolish and morally bankrupt policies.

We bomb their countries with drones, then are surprised when they bomb us back...
Bruessles is doubly stupid in that they have committed troops/resources to attacking these countries, while KNOWINGLY hosting terrorist refugees from same countries.
You don't need to be a lib/conserv to have common sense. You people who insist on labels are as bad as the whiny college pukes.

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.
