It didn't create ISIS, and definitely not full stop. The base organization existed before 9/11. Sunni alienation resulted from a Shia majority and a president that catered to that Shia majority, which is something that would have happened with Saddam not there, regardless if the west invaded or not.
We created the stage, not the actors or the motivations.
The middle east is quite capable of being violent without us being puppet masters over everything, and to think we're responsible for it all is pretty patronizing.
