It's pretty simple - this was not happening before the US got there, now it is. It's a Civil war.

Na.. it was not happening before the US invasion - or for a while afterwards. (Prior to that Saddam ruled the roost).
There are now many groups, - including the current Iraq govt and US "residency". They all play a role in conflict - and the govt are crooked as hell and involved in killings on a scale.
There was probably a reasonable chance at avoiding this level of conflict some years back - but the plans to "rebuild Iraq" where another myth - and still few basic utilities/services etc and no law enforcement worth mentioning.
