victory and the first time when citys in iraq who loved him grudgingly accepted he had reduced violence. he was a real shift in the way even sunnis and viewed him not to mention middle-class iraqis. he was perceived as a purely sectarian actor and a national figure because he is devastated the army and the army had recovered from that. the devastation was brutal. american snipers and helicopters were killing women and children but they were also destroyed and for that the iraqis remain grateful for a couple years. then you had an iraqi surge. americans and iraqis purging security forces of their worst elements. the guys who were killing innocent people just for being sued day. this was the main factor in the decline of violence but you take that situation and add the american ingredients. an increase in density of troops in iraq in baghdad. and the concrete walls. these concrete walls, 15 feet tall surrounding neighborhoods reminded people of palestine. it was impressive and destroyed the social fabric. if your kid lived in one neighborhood he couldn't cross the street because the walls were surrounding him. it actually worked. there's only one entry point and one exit po
