"Ordinary people" do not detonate people in grocery stores, restaurants and bus stops. Only the most twisted of human beings can ever do that.
While you might believe that the Iraqi people are all demented religious fanatics with no hope whatsoever for their future, others certainly disagree.
You are viewing Iraqi's actions through the eyes of a very different culture. Iraq's culture has been one of violence through much of its existence. I don't believe "the Iraqi people are all demented religious fanatics with no hope whatsoever for their future." I believe that in the absence of the dictator Saddam, our military occupation is now required to keep the three main factions from a civil war. Since we cannot afford an indefinite military occupation of Iraq, together with the fact that we have signed an agreement to have all our troops out of Iraq by the end of the year, its logical to assume the civil war will continue until they agree on how to run their country.
