You didn't read the article, did you, just admit it.

"He wanted ... to send a message to the terrorists that security in Baghdad is prevailing now," one official said.
Central to the success has been the erection of 12-foot (3.5-meter) high concrete walls that snake across the city.
The walls were designed to stop car bombings blamed on al Qaeda that turned markets and open areas into killing fields.
Qanbar said he hoped the walls could be taken down "in the coming months" and predicted the improved situation in Baghdad would translate to greater security elsewhere.

IS it so damn hard for some of you to admit SOMETHING might be working in Iraq, it doesn't mean you have to support the war, just a little intellectual honesty.
