LOL Well, it doesn't matter whether it's for sectarian reasons or not. The fact of the matter is that the Vast majority of Shias and Kurdish Iraqis were cheering U.S/Britain to help them get rid of their Sunni maniac dictator and oppressor Saddam. Many also say the Iranians were also happy to see his downfall for obvious reasons. What came after the toppling of Saddam was the doing of Iraqis themselves, the U.S/Britain were trying everything they could to stabilise the country and make it a stable, wealthy,prosperous western allied country like gulf states for example. It was Iraqis themselves who instead of coming together to build their country like say the Japanese did after the WWII, instead they started fighting against each other and holding past grudges which needed to be 'settled'. The West cant be blamed for the aftermath of something many Iraqis themselves wanted. since U.S/Britain and other western powers involved didn't want the country to fall into sectarian turmoil after the toppling of Saddam.This is for the sectarian reasons, put that a side and look at the general situation in Iraq and ME, after Saddams fall a number of terrorist groups emerged from the created chaos and power vacuum.
It was people in the region themselves who started going at each other throats after the fall of their dictator. The U.S/U.K didn't tell them to kill each other and destroy their country just to decide which sect will rule the country. I do agree with you however that it seems the main problem with people in this region is sectarianism /tribalism. Just like I noticed during my journey's in Africa as well. So the people there are the ones to blame themselves instead of always avoiding responsibility for their actions and talking the easy way out to blame the West as always. lol
