Well it's complicated. Terrorism started targeting shia indiscrimately. In exchange some Shias started viewing the entire sunni population as the same. I could go with the "they started it" excuse but I think we are way passed that. We have to look for solutions not justifications.
Poverty was the lowest in sunni areas, that's not a reason. Unemployment is higher in shia areas. Unemployment doesn't mean jointing terrorism. It's about the superior feeling. Many of those who supported and started the "revolution" has connections and influence, they had money, they didn't lck anything. It's similar to MB in Egypt, but in Iraq it's more secteriian based.
But again i say we Iraqis should start looking for solutions rather than justifications.
IS members are dug up in towns and cities. The locals themselves joined IS so its a house to house war in every village and town. There's IED's filling the place. It's a slow process.
The ties with the gulf are left for the other countries. Iraqis have been offering their hands but it's the other side that refuses. Although that's changing with Kuwait, UAE, Oman, Jordan, Egypt and surprisingly even KSA now.
Qatar on the other hand is a different story.

Why is everything going so slow? Estimates that it will take 1-2 years to drive ISIL out of Iraq. In reality it could be done in a month or less. So what's the decision behind the delay?
