you really need to understand that not all civilians are insurgents and not all insurgents are civilians. first off there was no al qaeda in iraq before the u.s. invasion. secondly when your family dies and you have no where to go, your basically going to band up with some other of which happened the same and try to take revenge. thats basically the reality there. and the u.s. military is trying to help out but there are some wackos in the military who joined just to make a few bucks and to get away from the laws in the u.s. luckily, there was a reporter to capture what happened there, if he wasnt, we would never be talking. its sad. but you dont want to tell the american public whats really going on there, you want to make it seem all nice and peachy.
