If we (the US specifically, the western world in general) hadn't imposed our will on the region back in 1948 with the founding of Israel, then followed up with all the manipulation of governments to control the oil there, the people in the Middle East that hate us today, wouldn't hate us.

Sure they have their tradition of violence based on regional religious and historical differences, but if the west had instead of manipulating the area, simply paid for oil, the area would have become prosperous and modern, and probably downright friendly. Look at Japan since 1945.
