I agree to an extent. However, the original Crusades had a mostly religious motive and resolve to them. As you mentioned, the contemporary efforts of Western nations to introduce democracy to the Middle East is really due to them wanting to take control of the region's massive oil deposits and resources.

In my view, the faction of Islam that seeks to destroy everything non-Islam has been slowly bringing this on the middle east since the 1970's. It is anyone's prerogative to not like Western values or culture - however, no one group of people has the only say in how the world is run. The US, Britain, etc. would be fine with the middle east running their culture however they like if they didn't keep trying to force their will through terrorism.
