Which is more difficult o control a minority faction or majority faction?

A majority faction is generally more difficult to control in a standard democracy because, with one vote per person, they will overall have more votes than a minority faction, therefore their ideas will come into effect. To stifle a minority faction one must merely outvote them, whereas, oftentimes for majority factions you must spread the vote to many smaller (state) governments. This is where the "Republic" form of democracy was suggested by James Madison, which allows representatives to make informed decisions rather than fall to "schemes of oppression" of the majority people. So, in short, majority's harder to hold back. You just have to outvote minority.

Why Iraq even after a war is not a democracy?

The Constitution of Iraq, which was adopted by the people of Iraq in 2005, establishes a federal parliamentary republic. One of the primary--perhaps the primary--goals of the constitution was to protect minority rights, as Iraq is composed of diverse factions. Direct democracy is not compatible with that objective. As Benjamin Franklin famously said, "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch". The parliamentary republic system was chosen so that representatives would be obliged to build coalitions around consensus, rather than simply imposing the will of the largest faction.
