Sectarian violence is down because of the 5 million people who have fled their homes. Now some Sunnis are returning home to find Shiites squatting on their property. This is volitile.
Bring our troops home.

Across Baghdad, Iraqis are trickling back to onetime sectarian killing zones, in an attempt to reclaim their houses and former lives. But as Sunnis return, Shiites are being displaced, leading to increased ethnic tensions.
Washington Post
"Across Baghdad, Iraqis are trickling back to onetime sectarian killing zones, in an attempt to reclaim their houses and former lives. While Sunnis are emboldened by a sharp decrease in violence and protection from the Iraqi government, many wonder whether they can trust the predominantly Shiite security forces and whether they can resume living among neighbors who once sought to kill them."
"Since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, more than 5 million Iraqis -- one of five citizens -- have fled their homes, according to the International Organization for Migration. Only a small fraction have returned."
