To the Editor:

    If the U.S. is willing to circumvent the government in Baghdad "to get weapons and training directly into the hands of Sunni tribal fighters in Anbar", we should be willing to circumvent Baghdad to arm the Kurds. It is they--and not the government in Baghdad, nor the Sunni tribes of Anbar--who are our best ally in the region.
