[For an explanation of these 18 posts, see Part 1 published on 3/27/2019.] Baghdad Trench and Wall In 2003, the U.S. and its allied, U.N.-approved, coalition forces attacked Iraq and overthrew its President Saddam Hussein and his government. Eventually, the U.S. had to establish a walled-compound in Bagdad, Iraq’s capital, to thwart Islamic attacks. Called “the Green Zone,” it still exists today as a very secure fortress. In September, 2006, the newly-formed Iraqi government announced plans to dig a water-filled... Read more

[For an explanation of these 18 posts, see Part 1 published on 3/27/2019.] Saudi Arabia’s Iraq Fence and Yemen Wall The 560-mile desert border between Saudi Arabia and Iraq is called “no man’s land.” But that has never prevented people from crossing it illegally. So, in 2006, Saudi Arabia announced plans to build an electric fence along this entire border with Iraq. At first, Saudi Arabia’s government was troubled by some of the country’s own radical, Muslim, male citizens illegally... Read more

In mid-2007, Israel’s army revealed the nation’s plans to construct another electric security fence. This one was along its entire 135-mile southern border that it shares with Egypt. That is where Israel’s Negev wilderness meets... Read more

It is published this year by the biggest publisher in the world until recently–Hachette Books. Rick Reilly says Donald Trump “cheats like a mafia accountant” at the game of golf.

[For an explanation of these 18 posts, see Part 1 published on 3/27/2019.] Israel’s West Bank Security Barrier and More Fast forward to modern times. Israel began constructing its West Bank Security Barrier in 2003. Before that, several Israeli prime ministers had discussed this idea for many years. In late 2015, this 430-mile planned fence-wall barrier was nearly complete. But it creates hardship on Palestinians living near it, especially those inside the Barrier. Some Palestinians call it “the apartheid wall.”... Read more

Who Is Shifty and/or Schitt? Adam Schiff or Donald Trump?

Last updated on: April 2, 2019 at 4:41 pm By Kermit Zarley

As President Donald Trump gloated last week by claiming on the basis of Attorney General Barr’s four-page letter to Congress that the Mueller reported “exonerated” the president of any wrong doing, the president called for the Mueller report to not only be given to Congress but made public as well. Fox News political analyst Judge Napolitano said yesterday that that public statement by Trump may have relinquished him of any right to claim executive privilege about anything in the report....

[For an explanation of these 18 posts, see Part 1 published on 3/27/2019.] Some Early History of Walls and Fences Some people argue that physical barriers on national borders are immoral and that people should be allowed to freely go wherever they desire. But that is overly idealistic, if not naïve, in a world of evil. Just as homeowners have a legitimate right to decide who they allow into their homes, nations have a right to decide who comes into...

The main plank of his platform was that he promised to build a wall on the nearly 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border to stop illegal immigration and transportation of narcotics. The U.S. had a decades-old problem with illegal immigration across this border, and the U.S. Congress had been dis-functional... Read more
