It's clear that everything is always the Great Satans fault. Maybe, just maybe, though.... islam is the worst possible religion to add into that tribal cocktail of over-exploited poors. Islamizing the regime certainly worked for a time for Saddam, and by "worked" I mean it terrified the populace and kept them marginally in line. So I guess it;s just a matter of opinion, as to whether or not everyone praying to the anus in front of them improved the state in some way.
Some factions just wanted to sell. But they didn't do it all by their own; during the Iraq/Iran war, Sunnies and Shiites were good, nationalism was strong, all shit came with the American invasion.

The amount of sectarian hate that was injected in the region in 2003 was just evil stuff.
