I'm sure that our forces are attempting to instruct them in rational behavior, which is likely harder than rocket science.
No we said went there to bring democracy and the Shiia majority democratically support moving closer to an Iran style religious state - thats how they vote, thats what they want to fight for. Basra is what a succesful, post-invasion Iraq is what our planners say Iraq will look like. By invading and disturbing the balance of power that existed we made ourselves responsible for the current state of things there in the population's mind.

Armies are for fighting, you are really quite clueless if you think our forces are there to quietly "instruct them in rational behavior". We would need to increase our forces there 20-fold to actually attempt that and I still doubt it would work.
