JDN,

It's because the rate of killing by al Qaeda does not approach the rate of killing the Shiites suffered under Saddam's government.

re: "the Shiites are being far more reserved then I would be in their circumstances."

Middle East Sunni question whether Shia are even Moslem and Kurds were treated like dirt by Saddam and Turkey both.

"Sunnis and Shiites are at each other's throats, killing and retaliating and killing some more. No one, it seems, can figure out who is allied with whom. The thing's a morass, a mess, a mystery and, unforgivably, a surprise. This was not supposed to happen. American troops would be greeted as liberators. Remember? There would be no insurgency. Where would it come from?"
