However, the conclusion still implies that somehow the solution lies with the occupiers, which downplays their role in fomenting the sectarian violence.

I came away with just that impression. There were interviewees who made it clear that the US government was not in the least bit interested when they were trying to complain about and alert them to the death squads sanctioned by the Iraqi government. It was implied, at the least, that tacit approval was being given. I agree it could have gone futher and there was definitely the implication that Iraq is naturally a sectarian, self-destructive society, which is dangerously misleading, as you point out.
