Did WWII occupational forces receive both outside terrorist and insurgent acts of hostility from people who willingly and endlessly commit suicide just to get at us? Also remember, the terrorist incites violence. He wants the U.S. military to come after him. He deliberately hides amoung non combatants and knows that even if a U.S. missle attack succesfully takes him out, it will usually kill inocents as well. Thus making the U.S look like a danger to the Iraqis as well. Thats why OUR PRIMARY mission is not to fight terrorists, but to see if a trained indiginiuos Iraqi military force can do most of, or all of the fighting.
