Right on, Infinite.

The "War on Terror" is a war on ideology. An ideology, I might add, which came to being because the terrorists have no conceivable means of confronting the West head-on, man-to-man, bullet-for-bullet on a battlefield, because the West have been spending insane amounts of bucks on building up their arsenals since the Second World War - mostly in order to let the Russians do the same, and that, of course, helped bring down the Soviet Union. Problem is, the West is still stuck with the hardware, and will bring it all to the fight when and wherever the fight breaks out.

So anybody disagreeing with the West will be blown to bits, and its only military option would be terrorism. The "War of the flea".

Now, putting blame on anybody will not yield any productive results. I agree with your point completely.
