Do you think the US should build a wall around Baghdad, like Israel is building around the West Bank, to.....?

Question

not only trap all the terrorists inside Baghdad but to keep all terrorists from getting into to Baghdad? The wall/fence method has worked extremely well for the Isrealis so maybe the US should try it in Baghdad?

Answer 1

Crap who knows we need to built that fence here on Mexican border..im sick of Iraq i say pull out and let god sort em out and take as much oil with us as we can to help pay us back dont ya know.

Answer 2

It is a thought provoking idea. The main problem in Iraq is that out lying areas were never secured enabling insurgents coming from outside Iraq keeping the country as a whole destabilized long enough for civil war to ensue. Mostly Iran and Syria so they can have more influence in the new government and batter American resolve both on the ground and in the media.
Unfortunately the far left in our country won't allow us the time and their actions will go down in history as among the biggest blunders which will far outweigh any blunders the Bush administration may have made.

After an eventual pull out and loss the far left Americans can thank themselves for their new nickname" The new butchers of Baghdad". The millions of innocent Iraqi men, women, and children that will be slaughtered is at their hand whether it be indirectly or not.

I would support the idea of a wall as long as we send in more troops to also secure the outer regions of Iraq.

A free Middle East ensures peace and security throughout the world. A free market and inevitable globalization makes peace a commodity that far out weighs any profits that can be made from oil.

Oil will be a dwarf in all of the other prospects of a free marketplace throughout the world. Most importantly extremist such as Al-Quaeda, Ham mas, and Hezbollah will lose their economic base and there way of life (remember the Taliban?) will be an impossibility anywhere in the world.

Answer 3

No, we do not need a physical wall or fence. Firstly, there is violence in a lot more places than Baghdad. Secondly, forget for a minute how we got into this in the first place and consider the following. The solution in Iraq is about principle. We need the people of Iraq to build an emotional wall between the consequences of helping their government expel terrorists and the future of their families. Every good citizen in Iraq needs to step up at the same time and take back their neighborhoods from terrorists by ratting them out at every opportunity. The religious leaders need to stop teaching the people to hate America. America (people and politicians) needs to continue to keep its promise to turn security over to the Iraqi government. The terrorists and their leaders are part of a religious movement that claims within its mission statement that their goal for the next 100 years is to exterminate Americans and control the world. The good people of the world need to rise up against this menace because it is even more dangerous than the Nazi regime. We all need to our part to eliminate the effectiveness of terror.

Answer 4

The USA is just trying to get the whole world in their hands but targeting poor countries like the gulf and using them of their oil resources and they do not care how they do it. That is US 4 u

Answer 5

instead of a fence or wall

build a large buffet table loaded with food

in both cases

invite the terrorists to bring food for the table too instead of bombs, again about the same cost

Answer 8
