2) 9/11 - The U. S. responds by helping to overthrow the Taliban in Afghanistan and invade Iraq creating a breeding ground for fanaticsm and a training ground for future islamic fighters. Also allowing the US to portray themselves to the Arabs as the Satan they've been made out to be.

I'm not sure that I would consider the overthrow of the Taliban to be part of a complete success for the Islamists, assuming that is what you meant. The United States was already portrayed as the Great Satan by much of the Muslim world long before the Taliban were overthrown.
