Because they're the majority of the country and when we introduce "democracy" to tribal people, that's what they do with it.
Democracy.
How THEY did they get in control of Iraq’s Parliament??
Obongo.
How TH did they get in control of Iraq's Parliament??
Shiites are the majority population in Iraq. After deposing Saddam, a Sunni, we assembled a provisional government that was majority Shiite. Saddam's Sunni cronies in government and the military got booted, then formed the insurgency.
They got in the same way the Democrats own the cities. If you live or have a business in a Democrat city, you donate and mouth your support for Democrats. Even Trump can identify with that kind of extortion, he was a victim of it for years.
No one will stand up to a terror boss. Everyone goes along with the strong man, everyone roots for the strong horse. Decades of the US trying to be civil snd going through unbelievable contortions to avoid torqing off Iran, even to the point of overlooking Khobar Towers, left no doubt in the locals’ minds that the strong horse was not the US but Iran.

They’ve always been the majority.
The British tended to control their colonies by supporting the minority population. That’s how Sunnis controlled Iraq.
They have been in control since Saddam was defeated. That was the whole issue with overthrowing Saddam. He was ruthless but he was a counter to the ruthless Shiites who align with Iran.
Middle East is a hot mess. The best solution is to keep them at parity and let them fight each other.
Our next move needs to be build up other nations to counter Iran/Iraq Shiites. And let them fight. And do more covert actions against Iran where we actually kill/destroy key leaders and infrastructure. Get the people of Iran to overthrow their leaders. It’s really the only good way out.
or make it a glass parking lot. But that has some drawback too. Lots of innocent people lost and the US would have fallout from that for generations.
They are a slight majority in Iraq
Especially when the Kurds are not counted and they become a big majority
I heard Tlaib and Omar voted to force us to leave Iraq. We should leave leave the doors open and when enough Muslims are in the building...kaboom...
