"They have been increasingly abandoned by religious and political leaders who have fled to neighboring countries, and other leaders have been assassinated." I think any Sunni who is able to should flee the country. We should probably assist them in fleeing. This, to me, looks like it could become a genocide equal to Rwanda, given time and the right confluence of events. I don't think we, the US, want to be responsible for being the prime cause for putting a holocaust in motion. 100,000 Iraqis a month are fleeing Iraq, and I assume most of them are Sunnis. I think the only humanitarian thing to do would be to assist, since we certainly won't be able to protect Sunnis, and I don't really want the US in the middle of a three way civil war in Iraq (well, 4 way, really- since the Al Qaedans are on a team by themselves).
