Walls are everywhere in Baghdad, put up by U.S. forces to offer a degree of security to hard-pressed residents. But do they merely perpetuate divisions? Critics argue the walls divide communities, stifle economic activity, imprison residents and only widen the sectarian rifts that remain at the root of Iraq’s political gridlock. Full Article

Walls are curious statements of human needs. Sometimes they are built to keep restive populations from fleeing. The Berlin Wall was designed to keep citizens from escaping from communist East Germany. But most walls are for keeping people out. They all work for a while, until human appetites or sheer numbers overwhelm them. The Great Wall of China, built mostly after the mid-14th century, kept northern tribes at bay until the Manchu conquered China in the 17th century. Hadrian’s Wall, standing about 15 feet (5 meters) high, 9 feet (3 meters) wide, and 73 miles (117 kilometers) long, kept the crazed tribes of what is now Scotland from running amok in Roman Britain—from A.D. 122 until it was overrun in 367. Then you have the Maginot Line, a series of connected forts built by France after World War I to keep the German army from invading. It was a success, except for one flaw: The troops of the Third Reich simply went around its northwestern end and invaded France through the Netherlands and Belgium.

Curious King George has chosen to leave a legacy of WALLS! The Baghdad Wall is a creator of more strife. The Mexico Border Wall is a statement that Mexico is a threat to “Homeland Security”. What’s next? Is Canada the next threat? Oh, maybe we should build a WALL between Alaska and Canada. But, what about Hawaii what kind of WALL would King George build there? The idea that a WALL will prevent intruders into our dreamworld sanctuary is pure Alice in Wonderland! Bush has replaced Alice and the US citizen is part of his awful DREAM! He does not want US citizens to escape when he implements his planned National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directives. NSPD 51 and HSPD-20

The Great Wall of BUSH cuts both ways!
