Is the quest for hearts and minds over before it even begins? Reports are in from The Independent and news.com.au that General David Petraeus has made the decisions several months previous in consultations with senior U.S. and Israeli military commanders to introduce gated communities.
The prospect of this has been met with equal measures of hope and concern. The problem as outlined by many is that this gated community approach has in the past has had a success rate arguably less than 10%.
Let's hope they don't resort to importing blast walls at a thousand bucks a piece as Bremmer did in 2003-2004 instead of having local concrete plants do it for a tenth of the cost.
