"After the US was attacked by Sunni extremists (Al-Qaeda) on 9/11, the US invaded secular Iraq. The invasion helped empower Shiite Iran and the Shiite factions within Iraq.
Now, afraid of the rise of Iran and the Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah, the US is trying to counter these Shiite forces by supporting Sunnis.
These Sunni groups include the Saudi Arabian government, and militia groups inside Lebanon who actually trained at Al-Qaeda camps."
