I have to add this bit of news…
US Erects Baghdad Wall to Keep Rival Sects Apart
“April 20 - American military commanders in Baghdad are trying a radical new strategy to quell the widening sectarian violence by building a 12-foot-high, three-mile-long wall separating a historic Sunni enclave from Shiite neighborhoods.”
(Believe it or not, but the Pentagon refers to this as a “gated community”.)
And you should compare the news above (widening sectarian violence) on the 20th with what the president said on the 19th. “President Bush is again rejecting opposition calls for a timetable to pull US troops out of Iraq, saying his new strategy is beginning to reduce sectarian violence.” When you read stuff like this you have to wonder what planet this man lives on? It must be the same planet that the wall advocates live on.
