Take any group of people who live in mutual awareness of each other, sharing a common space, and see that things are set up so a few eat well, a few more eat not too well, and a good many others starve. Watch what happens...

Violence, that's what.

Yes, to put it very simply, if everyone in the world had enough food and the other basic necessities of life, you would not have terrorism...UNLESS it was launched by someone powerful who wanted to get things back to the barbaric way they used to be in the "good old days" (our days) when a lot of people starved. He would want to do that so that he could divide and conquer, and have way MORE than anyone could ever need. Some people are like that. They call it "being a winner". They are psychologically very ill...like Al Capone was, for example. Or Hitler.

World poverty, however, is not the sole responsibility of the USA to fix. It's everyone's responsibility to some extent.

What the USA is at fault for in Iraq is launching a needless and unprovoked war for its own material gain.
