Re: “Victory? Increase troops?” Nov. 20.
Most agree that the escalating sectarian violence in Iraq must be controlled if the country is to have any hope of ever becoming a unified nation. Calls for dramatically increasing our troop level there as a means of creating peace among the opposing factions will not work, “Victory? Increase troops?” Nov. 20. Even if you had one American soldier for every Iraqi, you could not change how they feel and as soon as we left, those feelings would boil over into violence once again.
If we really care about the Iraqi people, we must put an end to the de facto civil war that is raging there. To do that, we must divide the country into Shiite, Sunni and Kurd areas with a weak central authority to distribute oil revenues between the three. The only way we can force the three Iraqi peoples to live together is to put Saddam Hussein back in power.
