Are the Shi'ites muslims? If so, why are they here and not in Iran?

Shi'ites are Muslims. They are mostly found in Iran, true; but there's a lot in Southern Iraq (which just happens to be next to Iran).

Shi'ites are actually a majority in Iraq. I think I read that the Sunnis (Saddams people)are only 25%.

So they are plentiful in both populations?

Interesting.

So what are the chances the Iraqi Shi'ites will help the Iranian Shi'ites rise up and toss out their evil?
