Sadam terrorized everybody, especially those not of his clan. He kept order with death and brutality. Now without him they had the opportunity for democracy and to rule with everyone represented.
Instead they have returned to their old ways. The sects hate each other and kill each other. You have outside influences coming in to help one side or the other such as Iran. Now throw in the hard line fanatics, islamists, and terror groups. You have the killing recipe that is Iraq.
It has nothing to do with us and everything to do with they have been killing each other for thousands of years. Long before they knew there were white men.
