Looks like we figured out that the Shi'ites were backed by the Iranians and we have started to go after them aggressively. There are three times more of them than Sunni Arab Muslims so we may need more troops. The Kurds have also threatened to launch a war against Turkish troops if they enter Iraq. Looks like we will be fighting all the groups soon. Better prepare, the real war may be just starting.

Actually, if we just read past the headlines we'd know that there are several Shia Ayatollah wannabes who are stirring up trouble (even with other Shia). That doesn't necessarily mean that the whole place is about to go up in flames. Don't forget that this is a group of Shia who pretty much meekly submitted to Saddam for 25+ years.
