In America, there are people of different religions and different political views, however deep inside their heart they are all Americans, like "brothers", so if one of them gets attacked everyone unites to try and defeat the attacking enemy.
The same thing is happening in Iraq. Although Iraq is a separate country, all middle-eastern countries including itself are predominantly “Muslim States”. So, though there might be small trifles or civil wars between these countries, they all have a feeling of Muslim brotherhood - so if one country is being attacked by a foreign power (America in this case), then all these countries forget their small trifles and differences & unite together to fightback and defeat the American troops.
This is where Bush screwed up badly - in his desire to get oil, he overlooked the basic fact that though Iraq is an independent country, it is still a "Muslim state" like several other Middle Eastern countries (particularly Iran). So, while Bush envisioned defeating the Iraqi resistance (meanwhile projecting to innocent Americans that he’s trying to bring Iraqis freedom from terrorism and a tyrant Saddam Hussain) and securing oil bases within a period of 2 years, he failed to notice that the resistance which the American troops will be facing is not merely from Iraqis, but from it’s Muslim neighbors as well. Now Bush has realized his mistake and has called for extra troops, more resources & plans for bombing Iran (this time under the pretext that Iran is manufacturing nuclear weapons & their leader Ahmedinejad is yet another tyrant).
Don’t you agree with me?
