As for your doughty defence of the apartheid wall, Teribus, try reading beyond the first few lines of the wiki entry if you can muster the energy. Even the Israelis acknowledge that the wall is by no means the main factor behind the drop in suicide bombings. Post hoc ergo propter hoc, eh, Teribus? The wall has annexed (aka stolen) thousands of acres of the West Bank, including stranding tens of thousands of Palestinians, divided farms, almost cut off villages, split families and made travelling extremely difficult for Palestinians. Your "security barrier" is my enforced future state boundary. It has been condemned nem con by the UN General Assembly and by the International Court of Justice. Not even Keith's decent democracies will stand up for it, will they?
