From the ghettos of the middle east to the South American cities south of the Inca, divided up into distinct, and in the case of the South American cities without interconnecting access, societies lived, but did not co-exist. The governments spent most of their times trying to mediate and maintain civil peace.

You largely see this still in the middle east and Iraq, oddly enough had made some progress away from it, under the less than balanced government of Saddam. Now we see with the failed policy of the Bush Administration and the arrogance that peace can only be found by our control of Iraq that WE have decided to physically divide a city.

We don’t need to be out in 12 months, 18 months or at a date to be named. We need to get out of Iraq now. We can help perhaps with aide, teachers and engineers, but only at the invitation of the Iraqi’s. We can only help ourselves by punishing the American Officials who have wrought this mess in the first place. Impeach Bush/Cheney! Bring Rumsfield to justice.

Maybe the wall needs to be built so Bush can stage a grand photo op later when he swoops in and dismantles it....like his hero Reagan and the Berlin wall.

If our military leaders in Iraq would just ask themselves “how would they feel about outsiders coming into this country and deciding matters of security without any reference to what WE would like, how would we feel and react?”

This is why we have already stayed too long in a country we should not have invaded in the first place and certainly should not have invaded using suspect and ultimately proved False information. We are not liberators, but occupiers and our presence has only enlarged the participation of radicals in opposing us and given them increasing support amongst average Iraqi people. Bush at this point is only hanging on in hope the ultimate collapse can be blamed upon the administration unlucky enough to inherit the results and blame of his foolish behavior. Impeach Bush/Cheney, start investigation of Blackwater.

To rephrase Ronald Reagan, “Mr. Bush, tear down that wall.”.

This is part of the plan.Divide and subjugate.Shia ,Sunni, Kurd.Keep them in Civil War while the multinational oil cartel manipulates Iraqs’ oil reserves for thier own uses. See the hydrocarbon benchmarks in the current emergency funding measure.Why isn’t Bush putting the war funding in the regular budget?Who is funding the 100k plus mersenaries, Haliburton? who else,does the private funding of war fall under congressional over sight why not?Who does Blackwater answer to?
Impeach for peace! jh

A gated, guarded community - every Iraqi’s dream . More opportunities in real estate for some real quick house flipping. So what if the “for sale” signs are full of bullet holes. Your tax dollars at work courtesy of Bu$h Inc. - number one, in the very exclusive Iraqi real estate market.

12 feet?  Hmmm, that sounds familiar.  Could it be that the people who are trying to create the illusion of a “peaceful” Iraq are the same ones who have been building a wall to keep the little brown people who speak an unintelligible language out of our pure white land?

Sometime in the future (hopefully, the very near future) the world will celebrate as the free-at-last Iraqis tear down the hated Baghdad Wall and the ‘Green Zone’, the symbols of US oppression during the War of Occupation, and the despised invaders are sent scurrying back to their zionist-dominated homeland.

Saddam Hussein had a plan for a subway system for Baghdad. I have not found any solid evidence that any construction of the system was started but it would certainly be worth investigating. It seems to me that a great deal of explosives, rockets, ammo, and weapons are getting past a hell of a lot of checkpoints. Have any of our brilliant military minds thought back to the havoc caused by the Viet Namese insurgents using tunnels?

Balkanize: Divide a territory into small, hostile states.

Doesn’t sound very democratic. Does sound quite BūshRōvŏnic however. The wall had best be 12-feet thick. ‘Cause one IED!?!

The media can now title the war as history will: The Great American-Iraqi Tragedy.

WTF!

What arrogance, to stage an illegal invasion, and then start walling off sections of a major international, historic, millenia-old ancient city. We should demand to know the name of the individual responsible for this desecration, this insanity. 

Do you suppose our USA zionists got the idea from the Israeli zionists and the way they’re dealing with Palestinian land?

What’s next, are we going to strafe and stage rocket-attacks by F-16’s on fleeing columns of Iraqi refugees? Continue to kidnap Iraqi civilians from their homes and incarcerate them without recourse in prisons, so we can torture them into submission, because they are so ‘terroristic’ they oppose our illegal, amoral, murderous invasion of their homeland?

It seems amazing we don’t have more Cho ‘incidents’.

But we do. It’s just that they’re happening in a land far, far, away. Called Iraq.

Out of sight, out of mind.
