Consider the Palestinian "question" being solved, and 9/11 still would have been carried out. The Palestinian issue is massievly overestimated by Western politicians - it is not even half as dearly to the Arab heart as Westerners assume it is. Israelis are not paying much attention to it anymore, and worry for different things. Arabs dislike Palestinians in general, and abuse them for opportunistic propaganda coups only when they expect to have a benefit from banging that drum again. And the Palestinians themselves have repatedly done their best to give themselves a bad name in the Arab world.
While Western policies most likely helped to strenghten motivation of Islamic terror, they are not needed for jihad to strike at thew West. That the West is not Islamic, and that Muslim regimes are corrupt and their elites not true in their following of Quranic rules - that is the motivation of jihad, and is reason enough for jihad to strike.
Enforcing the rule of Islam is the goal of Islam, and is mandatory. It is the way Muhammad behaved in hius life, carried over to the following centuries, and ultimately to the present. Islam is CONQUEST and SUBJUGATION.
