Now would be an appropriate time to test your holy theory out in Tehran. For every roadside bomb/hamas'hezbo fired rocket/splodey dope in Baghdad BO could activate your program.

Part of the reason for conquering Iraq

Many use the term "liberating", and that would appear to be a more appropriate term, especially since we're getting out. Anyway, part of the reason was to replace Saddam with a democracy, and that worked - despite widespread consensual beliefs. Al qaeda style jihad is not popular there. Will that last? Hopefully it will. The problem is that a new regional nuclear race triggered by Iran may transcend everything else in the region.

I don't know why you aren't in charge of foreign affairs. You are an absolute genius! ROFLMAO!!

Rather than invade Iraq, in response to the payments to the families of suicide bombers, it would have made more sense to announce that for each payment there would be a hole made in a Presidential Palace.
