I don't know how many people have been following the debate over constructing walls around Sunni neighborhoods in Iraq. There has been quite a bit of other domestic news over the last week to distract attention from the 'war.' But that doesn't mean it has gone away - over 170 people were killed in Baghdad on the same day as the shootings at VT.
I don't know how we can continue to claim that there are not major civil issues in Iraq and then suggest building walls to keep Sunni's separate from Shiite's. If this is the best idea we can come up with, what does that say for the prospects of a stable Iraq?
On a side note, it completely blows my mind that over 70,000 people turned out to watch Penn State v. Penn State spring football last weekend. It would take 3 regular season Wyo games to total that many fans.
Hope everyone had a great Earth Day!

we created one of the biggest messes in recent history, and now we think we can fix it by building a wall...this comes from the same mindset that thinks less gun control, with a couple of armed civilians in the classroom, would have prevented the shootings at va tech...i'll be blogging on this later in the week...
Just like in our country, the ones who are trying to implement this are the ones who are ignoring those affected. They are oblivious to the protests and cries for help from the innocent civilians who are trying ot stay alive in a cruel war zone.
