223 Killed From 3/15/08 - 3/21/08

Good morning,

Bloodshed persists. By the way, what reasonable mind will believe that reconciliation and cooperation between the religious sects will be possible when concrete barriers have been constructed between their communities? I am willing to state right here and now, that as long as those barriers between the communities remain, that there will never be political reconcilation. Remove the physical barriers, and most importantly, remove the US and all troops.
