- This is WRONG. First we invade their country, then we occupy and then we segregate it? WRONG WRONG WRONG. If anyone thinks this is going to make things better there they need psychiatric help. It's only going to make things worse. I can't believe the gall of the US forces. If anyone should be doing this it should be the Iraqi government on their own. This must stop. For some reason the Bush administration is living in a siege mentality - first huge fences around our own borders to keep out the Mexicans while ignoring the other 5 million illegals in this country from Asia, the Middle East and other countries and now this????????

- Does anyone disagree with the notion Iraq was better off with Hussein in place?
They're not ready for--or capable of--democracy as the oil companies would liked to have seen it.

Monty, They were better off in some ways. They would be better off now if THEY would settle down and talk. But you are right, they are not ready for Democracy because they use Religion to run their Government. Most religions call for their people to 'base' the laws on religion, but most stop short of 'demanding' that they be the final authority. The Christian Jesus said "render unto Caesar that which is Caesars and unto God that which is Gods." He also came down hard on "Organized Religion".
separation of Church and state is essential to a well run country. Separation does not mean freedom 'from' it means freedom 'OF'. If the Muslims would realize that and practice it things would be much better for them. - Reply to this comment
- These walls will make McCain feel even safer when he goes out for a Baghdad stroll! And this must be another success story to GWB!

- Clearly the real problem with Saddam was not that he was a mass murderer--the US has supported many such (e.g., Shah, Rios Montt, Saddam himself) but that he was going to use Iraq's oil wealth to enrich Iraqis. This was obviously a threat to the multinationals with their dream partners of U.S. fascists bent on global strategic domination. For this reason, the Bushits are planning to stay in Iraq--FOREVER! AND GET READY FOR THAT IRAN WAR!

- The walls being constructed to keep the Shiites out, can easily be turned into a cage designed to keep the Sunnis in - and makes it a heck of a lot easier to kill them once the slaughter begins.
As we have already seen, not all Iraqi Soldiers can be trusted to perform the duty they are intended to - their religious beliefs often dictating their actions. - Reply to this comment
