You are right, the current level of unrest, which is taxing our army to the limit, is only coming from the 20% of the population that is Sunni.

But we are burning our bridges to the Kurds, betraying them again, abandoning the only democratic forces backed by a local army, by allowing the Turkish Army in.

And the Shiites are busily building up their militias. Currently, they are holding their fire, waiting for us to fulfill our promise to allow democracy (which means the Shiites would rule the country). When they get tired of us failing to protect them, and failing to keep our promises about democracy and reconstruction, they too till turn on us.

Time is not on our side, in Iraq.
