April 22, 2005 “Please tear down this wall,” the president said. No, it wasn’t President Reagan challenging Soviet President Gorbachev about the Berlin Wall in the 1980s.

The discoveries came as insurgents unleashed a string of attacks that killed at least nine Iraqis and wounded 21." (04/20/05) Some of the Iraqi people continue to do as much harm to each other as they can, it seems. Trying to force the various factions to live and work together seems counterproductive, at best.
