In the minds of the insurgents, there obviously is a need to continue fighting. People doens't always think completely rationally; nationalistic feelings, a dislike of the West and a fear of being marginalized plays a part as well.
I also note that there are several insurgent groups, all of whom have their own agenda. The only thing these have in common is a hate against the Coalition and most foreigners, and these would probably just fight each other if they didn't have the Coalition to worry about.
