(1) Their country was fucked to start with.

(2) It was only kept from being more fucked by brutality that kept everything organized and understandable.

It's superfucked now largely because there's disorder. No one knows who the ultimate "winner" is going to be, and they are making plays to be that winner. We have imposed some sort of order on the country, and our troops do some stuff there. When we leave, there will be more frantic clamoring for whatever empty spots we leave behind. Maybe when the dust settles, all will be better than now, but the dust won't settle for a while.
