Um... Berlin, much?

US erects Baghdad wall

Uh.... hello? I though we built a wall in city in Berlin, back in the day, and it didn't go over so well.

For some reason, we seem to be on a wall building kick (Palestine? Mexico? Baghdad?)

Am I crazy? Did we not try this before and it sucked?

You're definitely not crazy. I think this trend says something horrible about the current administration. I saw the remnants of the Berlin wall in November, and I can't imagine growing up with such an oppressive symbol looming over me all the time. How sad that we have to erect concrete dividers to keep us from dealing with real issues of integration, tolerance, and respect.

Interestingly enough, this is the exact thought that came to my mind when I saw that news.

Coming from a country that was partitioned, I can tell you one thing - partitions help only those who sell weapons to the partitioned countries...

oh. wait. nevermind.
