To the Editor:
General Petraeus' strategy over the last two years drove down the monthly death toll in Iraq by empowering sectarian militias to patrol their own people and territory. The result was a national army that was even more skewed towards the Shiite majority; a Sunni enlisting in the army rather than a Sunni militia faced accusations of disloyalty to his own people. This has produced an Iraq poised for civil war if the U.S. troops as the U.S. troops leave. If we are to blame president Obama, it is only for keeping on the architects of Bush's poison-pill strategy.
