To the Editor:

   Watch these pages in the coming months as the authors of our Iraq strategy express shock (Shock!) that their game is working. Backing and arming sectarian militias (including the Awakening Councils) was never going to achieve a peaceful unified Iraq. It did however tamp down the death rate. Now when the Iraqi civil war resumes, it's no longer on George W. Bush's watch. Who is going to tell the mothers that this is what their sons and daughters died for?
