Not as old as stale hasbara, Hollie.So you can't quite decide which force has maimed, murdered, displaced, and incarcerated millions of innocent Muslims in the last ten years, is that your problem? Sunni and Shia weren't killing each other in Syria or Iraq in anything like their present numbers before the US invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. Maybe AIPAC needs a little more incentive to add Persian misery to the mix?There go those goal posts again.
But, Id say the answer to your question is still undecided. The sunni vs. shia wars (note the plural tense) being waged delineate two subdivisions of Islamism as vying for Hegemony.
In Iraq and Syria, it is the millennia old sunni vs. shia blood feud that is driving the conflict. In those two slaughter houses, Persian Iran and its allies are are pitted against sunni/salafi/wahabbi tribes. Neither the US, Russia or Western Europe has any real influence.
In Egypt, its quasi-secular (pick a name, I dont recall who is running the government this week), vs. the Muslim Brotherhood. Here again, even Infidel hush money doesnt buy much.
So, unfortunately, your question is largely directionless.
Its not that I cant decide, I just have no data to confirm your numbers. Apparently, neither do you. Thats your problem, not mine.
Secondly, Sunni and Shia actually were killing each other in Iraq prior to the U.S. invasion. The numbers of mass graves found in Iraq indicated that untold numbers of moslems were being planted all over Iraq. The total body count will never be known. It's quite apparent that Iraq's majority Shia population is suffering the worst of the jihad being waged against them by the Sunni minority which, under Saddam Hussein's auspices, subjected them to privation, fear, and death. What a shame that islams holy warriors didn't dare rise up against Saddam Hussein. Could that be because he showed that he wasn't at all shy about wholesale murder with mass collateral damage?
Further, The sunni vs. shia kill-fest in Syria has nothing to do with the US invasion of Iraq. That is fully a function of islamo-supremacy being waged by Persian Iran with aspirations of a Shia Crescent from Iran, into Iraq and through Syria.
Hm, let's see now:
 Syria, an aggressive despotic state allied with Iran:
 Which tyrannized Lebanon for decades,
 Which is implacably hostile toward Israel,
 Which is known to support Hizbollah and other Islamic terror groups,
 Whose agents of insurrection have been captured inside Iraq,
 And which is known to have received truck shipments of something from Saddam Hussein in the days before the inception of Operation Iraqi Freedom,
Any cause for I blame Amreeka here?
I think you need a better argument than the I blame Amreeka slogan. Its gettin old, Bunky.
"Refugees from Iraq have increased in number since the US-led invasion into Iraq in March 2003.
"An estimated 1.6-2.0 million people have fled the country.
"The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees estimated in a report released in November 2006 that more than 1.6 million Iraqis had left Iraq since March 2003, nearly 7 percent of the total population.
"The BBC on 22 January 2007 placed the refugee figure at 2 million. By 16 February 2007, António Guterres, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, said that the external refugee number reached 2 million and that within Iraq there are an estimated 1.7 million internally displaced people. The refugee traffic out of the country has increased since the intensification of civil war.[4][5]
"As of June 21, 2007, the UNHCR estimated that over 4.2 million Iraqis have been displaced, with 2 million within the Iraq and 2.2 million in neighboring countries.[6]"
Why don't you see if you can find a few links for your tripe?
Start with the number of neighbors Syria and Iran have invaded since 1948.
