because he systematically evicted Sunnis from every position of trust and/or power in his government. He's really got to go.

The region formerly known as Iraq was majority Shi'a, but not by that large a margin.

The dumb bastard should have realized he wasn't going to get away with it. Now he's facing an effective army of Sunnis and I wouldn't take any bets on his longevity until/unless he's able to flee and follow his stolen money out of the country.
