#3 Suddenly, the wall (for reasons best left unexplored) takes a hard left and passes straight through the middle of Yasser's Nablus "palace"...

#4 Ive got it, what the Israelis need is a huge say 500ton automatic wall building machine,I'm thinking a big armoured monster 100 tall that crawls along laying huge concrete walls.

#5 Jon Shep---I have been thinking along the same lines. The Israelis need the world's largest curb and gutter forming machine, modified for fence duty.

#6 #6 Didn't the Russians try this out in Germany? As I recall, It didn't really solve anything.

#7 Deacon - the Russians (actually Soviet Union) were trying to keep the East Germans in.... Israel is trying to keep the boomers out (while allowing controlled enterances for non-boomers).

This is very different from the Berlin Wall.

And yes, this whole thing is a political circus so that they can condemn Israel for defending herself in a time of war. (Since Arafat's group did that bus boom in Jerusalem and he is the 'elected' Head of the PA -- that makes it an act of war in my book...).

#8 The Soviets were trying to keep people in (prison) instead of keeping people out (fortress). And yes, actually, the Soviet walls worked rather well at their designated tasks. "Solved" the problem of people trying to flee Communism by making it impossible.

#9 I think that it's becoming clear: Arabs are all Major Drama Queens. Theater. Although circus, in a chaotic format, might be a better description.

Re: wall... I saw this "quiz" link on Michael J Totten's site... Using border / wall as interchangeable ideas:
What's the best way to stop people from illegally crossing our borders?

CONSERVATIVE: Seal the borders so no one can get in.

LIBERAL: Do nothing to beef up security at the borders, and offer illegal aliens a wide array of free services.

LIBERTARIAN: Allow unrestricted passage across the borders.

COMMUNIST: Seal the borders so no one can get out.

I hate the formatting of this quiz page, but it has some very funny shit in it!
