A July 2005 estimate of the total Iraqi population is 26,074,906(*).

We estimate that between March 18, 2003, and June, 2006, an additional 654,965 (392,979–942,636) Iraqis have died above what would have been expected on the basis of the pre-invasion crude mortality rate as a consequence of the coalition invasion. Of these deaths, we estimate that 601,027 (426,369–793,663) were due to violence."

Forty-five per cent of Iraqis believe attacks against British and American troops are justified

601,027/2.75 = 218,555/year

26,074,906*.45 = 11,733,707

11.733,707/218,555 = 53-54 years**.

(*)Assuming death tolls cancel out population growth.
(**)That's assuming they will fight till the bitter end.

Problem solved right?

Hopefully the 45% that think attacks on coalition troops are justified are the same ones who keep blowing each other up. That 45% could wipe themselves out in as little as 23 years at today's casualty rate.
