In particular, the operation, especially if bloody and protracted, will almost certainly further alienate the Sunni population, who constitute about 20 percent of Iraq's 25 million people, not to mention the much larger Sunni communities in neighbouring countries, including Saudi Arabia, the Gulf emirates, Jordan, Syria and Turkey.

The insurgents will be alienated (hopefully as the get killed), and the rest really won't give much of a damn. Arabs really don't care much for thos outside their own tribe, regardless of what your writer claims.
