If the attacks are happening because they are opposed to what we are, why didn't it happen sooner?

The threat has been there for decades. The difference now is that instability in the Middle East - which is not all our fault, there are huge internal issues in many Middle Eastern countries - has allowed extremism to prosper and have a base that it didn't before. That in turn has given it greater reach along with the new use of social media and the internet to spread their propaganda and recruit new followers etc.
