...denouncing the veil publicly, she does not do justice to the Islamic faith, which remains part of her identity. Abdul Aziz Singapore Game Over? Re "The end of a revolution" [Oct. 16]: The Republican majority in Congress has bullied, lied, changed rules, twisted arms and done everything possible to retain power, without consideration for the minority Democrats or the U.S. as a whole.

The calculation of the U.S. and Maliki last summer was correct: The militias exist because Shi'ites feel insecure. And that feeling of insecurity has been deliberately provoked and reinforced by Sunni insurgents who have targeted Shi'ites. The Shi'ites are tired of getting blown...
