Maybe this border fence idea does have something to it...

We've got the Jewish Border Fence. We've got the Christian Border Fence. Well, now we're also getting the Muslim Border Fence. All three religions in synch, for once.

Saudi Arabia will press ahead with the construction of a security fence to seal off the border with Iraq, the interior minister has said.
Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz said it would prevent the entry of Islamic militants and illegal immigrants.

The 900-km (560 mile) fence is part of the larger electronic shield which the kingdom plans to build to secure its northern, western and southern borders.

The original modern wall is this one built by Morocco in the Western Sahara. Not on the border either.

Don't forget the Roman one, up in Scotland. I wonder how big it really was? What's left doesn't seem that impressive.

Fair point, but the general principle is the same: Keep people out. Ditto with Morocco. Witout going into the politics behind them, there must be something to the physical effectiveness.

Don't they have shovels in the Middle East?

It is kinda ironic: the Saudis building a fence to keep OUT fundamentalist Muslims
