libsluv2spit,,, Not this Calif. liberal --- I''''ve always seen gated commuinities as a weakness & inability to solve community poblems & a source of exclusion in our society.

Yes they do help reduce violent, but these walls will also over time further alienate ethnic and sectarian groups from one another. Unfortunately this will have the opposite effect of what we want, a united, peaceful Iraq. Over time these ethnic groups will want to stick their own and not have to risk living will other groups. The partition of Iraq will be inevitable.
