They seem to simply reconcile their own goal-oriented behavior - you know, I want to move over there - with this local tendency to align with others. Because if you don't tend to be influenced by others, you then leave the group behind and you may get eaten by predators or you lose the benefits of group living.

It's not absolutely certain. But it's always been the odds-on most likely result, and that's a function of demography and politics. Iraq is a Shiite-majority country and so although his party was the runner-up in the March elections, it was always likely that he was going up as the premier one more time.
