Despite peace, Belfast walls are growing in size and number

Lee Young, 8 , stands beside the peace wall were he lives on the mainly Protestant Shankill area of West Belfast, Northern Ireland, Wednesday, April, 10, 2008. Lee Young, 8, and Cein Quinn, 7, live barely 200 yards from each other, but they probably will never meet. Lee is Protestant, Cein a Catholic — and their communities in Belfast's west inner city are separated by a wall called a peace line. It's nearly 40 years old and 40 feet (12 meters) high.
