Mr. Bush, Put Up That Wall!

From the VDARE Blog: Gwynne Dyer on Security Fences
By Allan Wall

Thailand is walling off Malaysia, India is fencing off both Bangladesh and Pakistan, Pakistan is putting up a fence on its border with Afghanistan, China is walling off North Korea, Uzbekistan is fencing off Tajikistan, The United Arab Emirates is building a fence on its border with Oman, Kuwait has one on its border with Iraq, Spain has fenced off Morocco, and Morocco has fenced off Algeria, Saudi Arabia has been fencing off Yemen, and Israel has set up security barriers on its borders with Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria and has been walling off the Palestinians. Dyer indicates that the most sophisticated security barrier is the one Saudi Arabia is setting up to wall off Iraq:
"The new wall will include buried movement sensors, ultraviolet night-vision cameras, face- recognition software and quite probably automated weapons in addition to the usual electrified fences, concertina wire, dry moats and mines."
