<Washington is now trying to keep a relatively low diplomatic profile in Iraq, hoping to sustain the illusion that the interim government is fully in charge. This is disingenuous, and not only because of the continued presence of nearly 140,000 American occupation troops. It was the United States that created a woefully unrepresentative governing council and that then let the exile politicians on that thinly rooted body shape the interim government. The Bush administration cannot afford to simply stand aside and see these problems compounded. The deep alienation of so many pivotal groups of Iraqis is one of the main reasons that the insurgency continues to gain strength. Fixing this fundamental problem should begin with a more wisely organized national conference.> nytimes.com
