Vital to the US National interest

Weren't the Shi-ites supposed to have been liberated from Saddam?
Weren't they supposed to be the allies of the coalition?
Then why is being in Najaf so vital to the US national interest?

It looks like the reason why americans don't understand why so many around the world lost their faith towards the US is because of its own foreign policies. It would be interesting to find out about the causes and consequences of the those policies
