What they all failed to understand is that Iraq isn't a nation. It's a construct, drawn up in a colonial office in London without giving ethnicity, religious affiliation and deep rooted tribal traditions any thought or regards. The last decades before the invasion, the minority Sunnis oppressed the majority Shia as well as the minority Kurds, who are of a different ethnicity.
