Friday dose of Krauthammer:
The critics at home, echoing the Shiite sectarians in Baghdad, complain that an essential part of this strategy — the “20 percent solution” that allows former-insurgent Sunnis to organize and arm themselves — is just setting Iraq up for a greater civil war. But this assumes that a Shiite government in Baghdad would march its army into the vast Anbar province, where there are no Shiites and no oil. For what? It seems far more likely that a well-armed and self-governing Anbar would create a balance of power that would encourage hands-off relations with the central government in Baghdad.
