Iran didn't attack us, so who is "they" we're a target because of our recent approaches of the last 70 years. there are other approaches that other superpowers have taken that have been even more beneficial for them and don't turn them into a target from anyone, or an amorphous "they" nobody is after "our way of life" as some of our leaders famously said, and if they are they already live in the US "death to America" is a reaction to American intervention, it isn't arbitrarily created because of our ... alliances or predominant religion or musings or freedoms or anything else. the same for 9/11 which can easily be seen as a double crossing by someone the US courted who became disillusioned with America. America's "national security" approach is its biggest threat to national security.
