Iraq

When Saddam Hussein was running things in Iraq he gave his fellow Sunnis (the minority) all the perks while oppressing the majority Shiites. There is very little you can be sure of in the turbulent Middle East, but you can be sure of this: The Shiites, aided and abetted by their allies in Iran, are just waiting for the U.S. to leave to embark on a pay-back-time campaign against the hated Sunnis.
