#1 Pre-1967 borders? Even the vaunted U.N. resolutions 242 and 338 make clear that the final borders would be subject to negotiation.

I'd put the fence-building project on 24/7 status, and to hell with the overtime.

#2 Actually, Steve, there was a recent article in the Wall Street Journal saying that the new fence is actually a bad idea. When Israel put up a fence over at Lebanon, the terrorists promptly moved right up to it and put missiles right there, and when Israel tried to move in, the int'l community insisted that the fence was actually a border and therefore Israel was being all aggressive 'n' stuff. So if Israel doesn't want to settle on that fence being an int'lly recognized border of Israel/Palestine, they may want to reconsider building it at all.
