Laith Kubba says there's enough blame to go around. He says the U.S. made a mistake when it disbanded the army when it occupied Iraq. And then, he says, international advisors were wrong to set up a proportional voting system, which Kubba believes only highlighted the ethnic and religious divisions in the country.
