#1 The Saudis think a fence will work, why does our government think it won't?

#2 A fence for me, an apartheid genocidal oppressor-enabling colonial torture device for thee.

#5 Theres no suggestion that the border isnt secure at the moment, so it could be a bit of an expensive white elephant, a European diplomat in Riyadh said.

Very typical Euro response. Never thought I'd be high-fiving the Majic Kingdom. Nothing on Bid Radar yet, still looking.

#6 This is so strange. When Israel announced it's desire to build a wall abutting Palestine, the World Community complained including the UN. Israel said the barrier was to protect it's territorial borders.

Egypt, if I am not mistaken, also has a security wall built along the Palestinian border. I remember the bulldozers punching a hole in it from Palestine several months ago. I don't remember anyone complaining when it was built.

Now Saudia Arabia wants to build a border fence with Iraq to protect itself from terrorists.

The United States wants to put a border wall on to protect it's Southern Border from illegal immigration. The Mexican Governments and NGO's files formal complaints in protest.

Complaints about Israel >1
Complaints about the United States >1
Complaints about Egypt and Saudia Arabia 0

Am I missing something?
