The jihadists were launching an assault on the new, highest profile effort by Saudi Arabia to insulate itself from the chaos engulfing its neighbours.

The Saudis are building a 600-mile-long “Great Wall” - a combined fence and ditch - to separates the country from Iraq to the north.

Why can't we build one?

Meanwhile, a blogger gets 10 years and 1,000 lashes for "insulting Islam."

The Suadi's should be listed with various other countries as promoters of terrorism and extensive human Rights Abuses.

But we can't talk about that in the media, because we purchase their oil and they have more $$$ and power than most in US.

Hey that's no way to talk about the Bush family's friends..

In no way do I admire the Saudi's except that they have the audacity to actually build a fence to keep those who would sneak in their country to undermine the status quo.
We simply dont have the 'nads.

Well, It could be that we are already indirectly helping Saudi Arabia pay for their 600 mile fence buy purchasing Saudi Oil to supplement domestic oil production, it could be that our border with Mexico is three times the length of the proposed border in Saudi Arabia, it could be the overall expenditure in money to not only build the fence but to properly staff and maintain it, and it could be that the level of political support from states that are not directly in the path of Illegal Immigration isn't there.
