"Mr. Gorbachev, Tear Down That Wall!"
on a concrete wall being built in Baghdad:
Once the 3.6m (12 ft) wall is finished, people will enter and leave Adhamiya through a small number of checkpoints guarded by US and Iraqi forces.
The US military says the barrier is the centrepiece of its strategy to end sectarian violence in the area but insists there are no plans to divide up the whole city into gated communities.
U.S. taxpayer dollars hard at work to re-create a situation that clearly didn't work well in Berlin? Decide for yourself . . . this just seemed a little on the ironic side to me.
