	Global Spin: Tear down the wall?
		I saw the Berlin wall before it was torn down; here was the burgeoning western city on one side and the drab, gray, rectangular cement buildings of the Eastern Bloc on the other.
		If one looked above and beyond the top of the wall -- which was massive, big enough to lay on top of comfortably -- one saw guard towers, razor wire and crosses were people had died trying to escape to the west.
		And for the destruction of THAT to be compared to pulling down a silly statue during a questionable war in front of three people is ludicrous at best.

	DC Indymedia: Tear down the wall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		As in the International Court ruling, the problem is not building a wall, but the fact that the wall is built not on the border but through Palestinian communities isolating many and severely disrupting their social and economic life of all of them.
		The thing that makes this wall so outrageous is that it is located as far as possible into Palestinian lands, thus isolating villages from the outside world, separating farmers from their fields, and in general spreading misery.
		Despite the Wall's raison d'etre, it is not likely to lead to a reduction of violence, but rather to further indignities that are to perpetuate the cycles of hatred and violence.
