not sure how you are parsing the difference between creating and enabling....
Isil, for example, arose because of the Iraq war and the "disbanding" of the Iraqi army...
Sadly, blowback has been happening time and again, even when the west is going in with good intentions...That's not western "self loathing"; there are multiple historical incidents where western intervetion in the middle east has resulted in negative unintended consequences.
