Right now we know that Iran has been training and equipping Shia, including al-Sadr. They've even been <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/10/30/wiran30.xml" rel="nofollow">killing former Iraqi pilots</a> so much that Jalal Talibani even offered them refuge in Kurdistan. Given all that we know about Iran and the Sia, why would we assume that the Sunni are the ones leading the problem there? They have to know that if the US leaves, they're all dead meat. There's no upside at all for them to forment any widespread violence at this point. Sure, they can cause the occasional bombing or shooting, but beyond that, what?

The Sunnis are the ones foementing violence in Iraq. For the Sunni it's business as usual. By far the most victims of the violence are the long suffering Shia. Whatever their problems with their devotion to Islam, the Shia welcomed us into Iraq at first as liberators. Al-Sadr wanted us to leave right away and he was probably right in retrospect. The Shia have put up with a lot of provocation from the Baathists. Now the cat is coming out of the bag, but it is in response to the continual suicide bombings and murders perpetrated by the Sunnis and their Saudi suicide dogs. The Sunni know they will not have oil or power as a minority. I disagree with you. The Sunnis are the ones foementing violence in Iraq. For the Sunni it's business as usual.
