Shiites and Kurds in Iraq represent about 75-80% of the population. Can the majority population, a group had been oppressed for decades by a privileged minority, be considered collaborators? If it does become a real Civil War between Shiites and Sunni Arabs in Iraq, the Sunnis will lose.

In Northern Ireland, the majority of the population is Protestant.

Your analogy with Northern Ireland is quite apt. Of course the situation in Iraq is not quite the same, but then again one can never find identical parallels.
