Oh, come on. After spending billions of dollars on a failed gun registry they have "about the same gun posession"? Spare me.
The current violence in Iraq has zero to do with Saddam passing out AKs to the civilans and everything to do with decades of Baathist tyrrany and oppression. It's mostly Sunnis trying to get back the dominance they had and Shiites trying to make sure that doesn't happen. And both of them feel religiously justified because the "other guys" are kufar.
If you think it wouldn't be happening if Saddam hadn't passed out small arms you're deluding yourself. Weapons don't cause violence any more than matches cause arson; that's an animistic superstition. People with violent intent commit violence.
