If American power ever recedes, Sunnis will seek to regain the domination of Iraq they previously had under Saddam.

Actually, at this time, it's the Iran-funded Shia militant groups who are poised to take Iraq if we should ever fade away.

The US will have a presence here in Iraq for the foreseeable future, though.

Wasnt Saddam a Sunni? Holding power over the larger Shia population by force & terror?

I dont know if they can ever work together long enough to attack a common enemy. Instead it sounds like they are too busy fighting each other.

As I understand it, Iraqi Shiites already dominate the current government and have ethnically cleansed the Sunnis from Bagdad. All Iraqi Shiites are pro-Iranian. Is this not true?

That would be Mookie al Sadr’s gang, would it not? Haven’t heard much about him of late.
