*shrug* ... no bro I don't think that. Different regions of the world are known for the collective mentalities or behaviors of their people. Some of it is due to long-standing cultural traditions, other times its due to geography and whatnot.
In any case, from what others have observed throughout history and from my own observations of Iraqi friends that I have [both Sunni and Shia], the people of Iraq really are very fickle. It's just in their nature to be so, and their may be some goodness to it, but God knows best.
