That seems like such a gross oversimplification I don’t even know where to start. There will always be those in society who want to do harm for one reason or another, utopia does not exist. These people are what we call criminals.
Most criminals are criminals because of the circumstances.
Circumstances can be improved but they'd rather spend 5.5 billion (the one after the million) € on Eurofighters than make away with poverty.
We could go back and forth and it would change nothing at all because no one from the EC will see it and as an EU citizen I can't change the resolution, because the EP can't do anything about it.
And just because there are "criminals" doesn't mean that I have to live behind steel bars in my house and let every letter be seen by some policeman before I read it.
We're also not talking about criminals, we're talking about some guy who's country was attacked, maybe his family killed. Who knows what his motives were? I don't.
US, EU, Russia, Turkey all waged a proxy war in Syria.
If not for that war maybe he would not had done what he did.
If not for 9/11 there would be no ISIS.
Why does the US have to plunder other countries? Instigate wars in other countries? If anything we should send to refugees to the US because they're to blame for it all.

It's not just the US, you said it yourself - France, Russia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the EU (agricultural subsidies make it impossible for local African farmers to compete with cheap, subsidised surpluses from the EU), Germany (weapon deals), China, and many others depending on region.
It's easy to point the finger to just the US, but in reality it's been European colonialism that started most of the mess in the first place. Just compare the borders in Africa and the Middle East to the borders in Europe and you might get an idea why peace and prosperity might be a long ways away.

The EU alone has a population of 440M. 5.5Bn is just 12.5€/person. Say 1 in 1000 people within the EU can be considered poor, that's still just 12500€ per poor person. That might be great for a year in many places, but then you'd have the same problem again next year. And the year after that, and the year after that...
Circumstances can be improved, but it doesn't start with money. The first step needs to be the disbandment of ghettos - way too many migrant families are segregated into their own streets, city blocks and quarters. Their children are stigmatised from birth and discrimination starts at an early age.
These people don't need money - they need a perspective, a fair chance, and acceptance. As long as football fans throw racial slurs even at their own players and as long as your country of birth, ethnic- and social background determines your future more than your skills, personality and hard work, being a terrorist or criminal has more appeal than being a productive part of society.
Your view of reality is that of a severely coddled person. In reality, you cannot have rich without poor, unless you suggest literal communism. Even in Scandinavian utopias, people rape, steal and murder.
Please wake up from the fairy tale that all bad things have a just cause that can be fixed. No. Some people would rather steal your stuff than go to the trouble of getting their own legitimately.
