...the US Government actually sided with Shiites first...when Israel intervened in the Lebanon Civil War, they were welcomed. But due to numerous mis-steps and drastic over-reaching by prodding of our government...the Shiites turned against. And hence, our government started courting the Sunni's. The Shiites are actually much more liberal than the Sunni's, but due to the cluster fucks of our government...they are forced to deal with the Sunni's. Talk about irony.....
