We're a foreign body, like a splinter in their flesh, and they want to expel us

It appears that in Iraq this is true only with respect to the Sunni crowd. The Shi'a side of the equation seems to have little problem with our presence.

They think they could control the moderate Muslims if we weren't interfering, and I think they're probably right

Agree. The Wahhabi extremists have become very strong. The entire coalition - along with the Iraqi security forces - is having difficulties containing them. Give them a chance, and Islamist governments will begin popping up all over the place... they'll take over like wild fire.
