The US forces who started building a 12 ft high, 5km long concrete wall round the Shia district of Adhamiya some 10 days ago, have been asked by the Iraqi president to stop. This wall, which is to muslims a deeply insulting reminder of the walls constructed in Palestine by the Israeli state, is yet another arogant insensitivity to the feelings of the people of Iraq. And Muslims the world over. It shows that the US administration has absolutely no interest in fostering good relationships with the inhabitants of Iraq. That these walls go up after curfew and the workmen are gone by dawn is almost sinister. And its not just this one wall, a network of so called blast walls are now so extensive that it will not take a lot to join them up and create a cellular 'jail' of the whole city.
My question is are they really that dumb? Or is it part of a deliberate policy of antagonism? It is getting hard to tell for me, Certainly in recent days the death tolls in Iraq have been rising despite the influx of extra troops. It seems like everything new the American administration does in Iraq only leads to a further deterioration in the lives of the long suffering Iraqi's. I find it increasingly difficult to believe that this is merely stupidity, I believe that it is covert US policy to be as antaganoistic and insensitive as possible. Anyone agree?
