On the 18th anniversary of bringing down the Berlin's Wall; the hope inside me grew up to get rid of all Baghdad Walls. These walls erected by American troops and Iraqi government under the pretext of securing Baghdad. If that is true I am wondering how we were living without these barriers in the past and for the benefit of whom were all these walls erected here and there. Billons of dinars spent to erect these ugly barriers.
I wish the day will come when I see Baghdad secure and one piece again like Berlin. Hopefully it will not take 28 years to make this wish come true…

John - I believe the US authorities have NO intention of leaving and they certainly are not there for the well being of Iraqis.... pretty obvious after all the Iraqis they killed.
And after how they destroyed the country.

The walls in the city were erected to keep the terrorist who were shooting rockets and mortars at the Green Zone in one section after an attack, so they could be found and prosecuted. This protects all nationalites. If you had turned in the bad people the Americans would not have had to take these measures. You know the people in your neighborhood who commit terrorist acts. YOU TAKE CONTROL of your country so WE DON'T HAVE TO! WE don't want to be here any more than you want us to stay and stay and stay.... think about that last statement.

I hope so too. Here's to walls being torn down and bridges put to use!
