Who do the shiites think should rule Iraq?
The Shiites in Iraq do not have a unified perspective on who should rule Iraq, which is why there are several Shiite-majority parties in the Iraqi Parliament. However, most Shiites would prefer if Shiites were in power over Iraq and are intensely distrustful of Sunni Arabs given the long history of repression visited on the Shiites during Sunni Arab power.
Do the Jews fight with the Sunnis or Shiites?
Jews (as a group) do not fight with Muslims (as a group). There is certainly the Israeli-Palestinian and Arab-Israeli Conflict where a majority-Jewish army faces off against primarily majority-Sunni Arabs. However, the conflict is a nationalistic conflict where religion is only an ethnic-marker. Most Israelis are Jews and most Palestinians and Levantine Arabs are Sunni Muslims. However, Israel has also fought against Hezbollah and performed subterfuge against Iran which are both Shiite Muslim groups/countries.
What do the Sunnis and the Shiites have to do with the Iraq War?

Do Shiites hate Saudi Arabia?
They hate Saudi family [Ibn Saud and his progeny] not Saudi Arabia, per se. Shiites hate Wahhabism (the movement of Sunni Islam that has official promotion in Saudi Arabia), not Arab people, because Wahhabism claims that Shiites are deviants from Islam and are a corrupted Jewish sect. This is untrue, since Shiites follow Islam from the time of Prophet Muhammad through his family (the sons and grandsons of his only daughter, Fatimah). Additionally, the Saudi government supports the persecution of Saudi Shiites and the destruction of their mosques.
