Saddam was a Sunni, who ruled over the Shiite majority of Iraq though terror. During Saddam's reign the Sunnis were in control.
The main target of ISIS terror is the Shiite population of Iraq. They aim to use the kind of terror that Saddam used.

I know all this. I spent a year in the Shia parts of Iraq, then two in the Sunni areas.
The (Sunni) ISIS will alienate the Sunni tribes, people and leaders. The tribes will unite against them. ISIS will be destroyed and the US will help them -just as we did in 2009.
