I wonder whether our government and our military will ever rent a clue.

The Army starts building a wall between neighborhoods in Baghdad to keep the
warring sects apart, and the Iraqis say the don't like it. So now
apparently the military will tear it down. Our senior military officers
were surprised to find out the Iraqis didn't like the wall.
Wouldn't it have been (to use G.H.W. Bush's term)
"Prudent" to have found this out prior to builting the silly thing?

The American military doesn't go around doing stuff in a vacuum. You can be
sure there was support for the wall when they started building it.

Not the only wall there like the media would have you think. US and Iraqis
have built hundreds of them all over for 4 years now. Media just found one
that is controversial and made a story about it. Walls really don't do much
good anyhow. Big wall around the so-called green zone but doesn't stop
attacks on the other side. Been there, seen lots of walls in Baghdad and
Iraq first hand...
