To the Editor:
Anyone who is surprised at a resurgence of violence in Iraq hasn't been paying attention. When general Petraeus armed and empowered ethnic militias to patrol their own turf, he tamped down the monthly bloodshed. He did not move us towards a peaceful Iraq. Rather, each ethnic group took the opportunity to retrench and waited for U.S. troops to leave. President Obama is working hard to get out without giving the signal to resume the Iraqi civil war. It may prove impossible. That should be no surprise.
