You seem fixated on the idea that only Iraqi's can be upset by the Iraq war. It's a dumb reductionist way to think.
But your way says that everybody on the planet has an excuse to get into the fight. That's even dumber
I don't think any government elected with a first past the post system has any claim to democracy and yet they seem to think they have the right to sell weapons to tyrants and start wars all over the place. Is it so crazy to think some people in disparate parts of the world might likewise work beyond any sense of morality or principal?
I don't think it is dumb to suggest that Isis has been funded and that they are largely mercenaries. You have to understand the links, Brock before you see the bigger picture and I am not sure that you do. Your mentality feeds into the escalating violence. You seldom talk about how Isis gets their weapons, or where they came from, to do that one must look in a mirror and that is where it gets murky.
