In February American casino operator Las Vegas Sands broke ground there on what will be the city's first integrated resort, scheduled to be completed in 2009. Beyond gambling, the Marina Bay Sands-composed of three nearly identical 50-story towers-will offer 2,500 hotel rooms, 93,000 sq m of convention space, two theaters, an ice-skating rink, shops and restaurants.

The barrier was conceived as part of a new strategy to address sectarian violence through physical separation but has largely backfired, viewed by many Sunni Iraqis as discriminatory and opposed by many in the Iraqi parliament.

Even if Congress and the White House cannot agree on a timetable for withdrawal or the necessity for such...
