Right, so 1991, and when the people attacked us, was the Gulf War cited as a reason? It wasn't, and the reason why not was that in the Gulf War, we fought on the Sunni's side by defending Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. The only complaint coming close to that was that we kept bases, at the request of the Saudi government, to ensure Saddam didn't try invading again. Try again.
The simple fact is that there are going to be some group of psychopaths willing to kill people for their cause. The reasons aren't rational and pure acquiescence won't stop them. This fact doesn't mean that the only rational decision is to invade every country to bend them to our will, but the idea that isolating ourselves will ensure our security is simply inane.
