A source to back up your claims please?

BTW, The Partition plan has too do with the 3 major ethnic groups in Iraq and the different areas in Iraq they predominate in, it is not about walls between neigborhoods.

So nice try but pure Dincon wishful thinking on your part.

http://www.azzaman.com/english/index.asp?fname=news\2007-07-28\kurd.htm U.S. troops have isolated certain quarters in the neighborhood of Dora with concrete slabs, blocking the passage of vehicles.

Residents now vent their fury on U.S. troops, accusing the military of turning their neighborhood into a big prison.

Cars are not allowed to enter or leave these areas making it difficult for patients to visit hospitals and shop owners to replenish supplies.

Residents have now to walk for long distances to reach bus terminals and it is impossible for ambulances and cars to drive patients in acute conditions to hospitals.

Um Mohammed, a house wife, said conditions in Dora were deteriorating with every passing day. “We have become almost like detainees in a prison camp. There is no water and there is no electricity and no fuel to run the standby generators,” she said.

Mohammed Salem blamed the government for Dora’s predicament. He said even before the Americans besieged certain areas the government had failed to provide residents with food rations, fuel and other public utilities.

Dora is already ringed by fences and walls but it is the first time U.S. troops separate its parts with concrete slabs.

Adnan Ahmed urged Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and the parliament to order a halt to U.S. building of walls in Dora. Whether it's called ethnic cleansing, partition, apartheid, political separation, it's all the same thing: segregation of warring parties.
