You can't blame selfishness when entire groups act because they're brainwashed by some sort of leadership claiming all sorts of crazy stuff. How can blowing up a bomb strapped to your own body be an act of selfishness.? Instead it's just another insane example of how far religious people are willing to go brainwashed as they are.

Shouldn't the true essence of religion be doing good and making this world a better place, instead of starting wars killing thousands? Well, that very same thing often gets torn out of context to justify going to war in the first place.



There are many different groups involved in that conflict all with somewhat different motives, it's not as easy as it sounds when it comes to 'accepting democracy'. Many people in Iraq are not interested in democracy, let alone a foreign country that decides over what's best for them or not dragging them into a war in their own country.

Democracy often is seen by many of them as 'the evil religion of the west' in very much the same way as we tend to be biased about how all muslims are terrorists. They're not.

It makes no sense to force democracy onto a country like this, it just doesn't work that way. Especially when the general consensus has always been that the people in Iraq would rather have no war at all, even if it means accepting Saddam. Security in Iraq has been lots worse ever since that war started and many have died for so called democracy and modernization. Religion or not, it's no wonder a lot of groups genuinely seem to hate America, knowing how US oil interests and even Christianity played a vital role in a war they didn't choose for.
