Re: World must deal with causes of terrorism: Blair
You answered it in your own question. As you allude to, the US became the only policeman with the fall of USSR. That, combined with the growing jihadi movement, began the attacks against the west.
The US has held the role of world policeman since WWII. They didn’t go all cowboy-sheriff with Muslim nations until the invasion of Iraq, and that was long after fundamentalist terrorists began their jihad campaign.
