To the Editor:
While the Iraqi people have turned out for elections, the U.S. continues a policy to tearing their country apart. By arming and empowering local sectarian militias rather than building federal organizations, we have fueled the civil war that would follow if and when the U.S. were to leave. Iran's gain is not in influence inside Iraq; the Iraqis don't want that. What Iran has gained is credibility in decrying America's colonialist ambitions in the area.
