A wall U.S. troops are building around a Sunni enclave in Baghdad came under increasing criticism on Saturday, with residents calling it “collective punishment” and a local leader saying construction began without the neighborhood council’s approval.

The great wall of China, the Sunni wall of Baghdad, and the Mexican wall of America. All to keep people out that shouldn't be there in the first place. All necessary, and all controversial. Some times a wall is better than bloodshed.
A great idea! Glad to see the Commanders on the ground are doing and listening to their NCO's and protecting their men and women Warriors! No matter what our Warriors do for the people in Iraq they will always be someone to complain. Israel has been fighting this type of war for years and they have learned what is the best way to do things thru trial, error and blood. We should listen to them more often and follow their lead more. Thank you all each and everyone who is serving over there and who has served. I spent almost Fifteen years in the Army before getting injuried and given a medical discharge. I have wished I could be there with you all many times. Civilians will never understand when I say, I die a little when we lose and servcie member. Without all of you America would be in a world of hurt. May GOD bless everyone of you and your families back home and through GOD's great love for us all, may HE keep all of you safe and well everyday, always! May GOD bless America and may GOD bless Israel!
