U.S Soldiers and the Iraqi Government have built a three mile long wall in Baghdad in order to keep Sunnis and Shiites from getting into more sectarian violence but many Sunnis claim that they are being discriminated against in this act and that the wall is just an excuse to Ghetto them in and keep them locked up.
Does this ring alarm bells and will it cause problems as there are with the Palestinian Enclaves in the Middle East?
Will this actually solve the crisis or will it make it even worse b dividing instead of trying to unite the different parties involved?
Six U.S soldiers died trying to erect the Wall and I am wondering if more blood will be spilled as walls have only increased tension in the past and haven’t really solved anything. Look at the Berlin Wall for example that caused so much heartache and kept so many families and loved ones apart.
We more often than not look at the News day in day out in a kind of lethargic zombie fashion and never quite understand why regional conflicts happen and where they are heading to so it is wise to try to understand what is going on in a certain region by probing into some historical aspects in order to shed some light into the whole scenario.
At this moment in time more t million inhabitants of the Democratic Republic of Congo have been displaced in the region of Kivu alone, along with thousands having been killed, maimed and raped due to Rebel Antics in the East of the country.
You will ask why this is happening? We all remember the horrors of the Rwandan Genocide that took place Between the Hutus and Tutsis which left 800,000 Rwandans dead of primarily Tutsi origin with no intervention from the Global Community to speak of. Well after the Genocide was finally over and a fragile peace was declared and put into motion the majority of Hutus from Rwanda fled into neighboring DRC for cover and creating their own Hutu Militia force. Now in Eastern DRC there is another Congolese Tutsi Origin rebel group that is also vying for power and insists it is protecting its Tutsi inhabitants. This conflict that is taking place now in DRC can easily be taken back into Rwanda and played out again.
Now along with help from the UN both the Presidents of the DRC and Rwanda are scheduled to meet to try to bring an end to this ethnic conflict in the DRC so there isn’t a repeat of the Rwandan Fiasco. There is one question here though. Has the World at Large acted too late here again as so many people have already died in this never ending conflict?
Have we as a civilization in the West really got our priorities wrong? Should we be spending millions on celebrities and stupid delinquent reality shows that fill our heads with complete rubbish? Or should more funds be ploughed into creating more Peace and stability in the World?
A war in Iraq and Afghanistan is costing billions of dollars each year and is crippling the U.S Economy and it isn’t getting any better. What with all all the banks closing also following each other like a pack of cards what will we see next? Can we still trust Government and banking institutions like we used to? Or are we going to see ourselves saving our pennies in nooks and crannies and under our mattresses like times gone by?
How much do the People of America have to spend to bail this Government’s antics out? How many more billions will America have to borrow from places like China to pay for this war and get the country into even more debt than it already is?
Well look at this clip to see what is going on in America’s front yard, forget the back yard, that is another story in itself. If McCain wants to stay in Iraq for the next century how many banks will have to take the brunt in order for the whole Economy to collapse and the Government finally realize that wars are so uneconomical and expensive and apart from a few contractors and their shareholders, every one else is in a spot of bother about all this. I do hope in the Elections there is some heavy wake up call…For everyone’s sake!
Is this the beginning of a new round of Cold War tit for tat by the two Superpowers? Are we going to see a three fold problem developing now which involves the Islamic Contingency, The Russians coming to put up house in America’s back yard and the U.S stranded in Afghanistan and becoming bosom Buddies with the Poles?
I personally believe it is their excuse to keep over 5,000 nukes on red alert so they don’t do any proliferating on their part..Keeps the Yehudi Contingent happy. I don’t think it is just a Russian/American problem it stems much wider and runs far deeper than any of us lay people can even imagine. Now with the Banking Crisis in the U.S also I am wondering where all the funding will come from for all these operations around the Globe.
Whatever is going on isn’t very nice for the average Joe and am thinking that we all have to hold our horses and be very careful otherwise we will be going to Doomsday one day earlier. When will our political Leaders ever learn from the lessons of the Past?
