Jersey Barriers A Desperate Attempt in Iraq
The Americans are grasping for straws in the fight to bring calm to Baghdad, Iraq. Now they are splitting up communities with jersey barriers and monitoring who comes and goes from these newly barricaded communities in and effort to stem violence.
It is a failed approach even before it starts. Just look at the Palestinian issue. Did the wall and barriers stop violence in Israel - no, it caused even more polarization and separatism. Did the walled community program work in Viet Nam - no it caused the villagers of the communities to side with the rebels.
Now we have a desperate situation where the resolution is to enact a non-friendly resolution. Not only are walls being erected around ten communities, but residents as being subjected to fingerprint scans, retina scans, and comparison to a rebel database. That should take hours to get through any screening checkpoint.
Clearly there are no simple solutions to the violence, and this final solution is a final desperate measure to try to bring peace to the final remaining residents in Baghdad. Good luck!
