#51: Another Wall?

The U.S. government wants to build a wall in Baghdad separating Shia and Sunni neighborhoods. In a world that has survived the Berlin Wall, a symbol of artificial division, countries and world leaders should oppose such barriers. The Israeli government is errecting a "security barrier" around the West Bank perpetuating the occupation of certain territories. The wall in Baghdad will just deepen and exhibit the Shia-Sunni division and reinforce the image of Americans as occupiers, which will delay resolution of the conflict in Iraq.

Well, it depends which wall you are talking abouut and how you look at these projects. The one Bush is building on the border with Mexico is actually supposed to keep those nasty gringos/as from interfering into the land of machos and muchachas...I think Hugo Chaves should support and reinforce the project...:)
