They all have guns though. If I'm packing heat on my way to the Iraqi equivalent of a seven eleven and I get gunned down, am I a militant?

My point is, lets say we get to a point where four fifths of the population is fighting us and the government we installed. Are they militants? What are they militant against? At that point, aren't they Iraqis fighting to to oust an invader? I'm not saying that's what we have here, I'm saying that there has to be some math here where you say it doesn't make any sense to be fighting here. That old "We had to destroy the village in order to save it" math, how close are we to that?
