haqihana,

I am not defending the Great Wall as a "good idea" either.

There has not been a barrier yet invented that could not be breached. It depends on what price each side is willing to pay.

My point was that the Maginot Line was at best a stop-gap measure. The French also assumed that the technology of WW1 would not evolve. What is that saying about General always fight the last war.

I don't profess to be a military historian, but I do know a bad idea when I see one. Lets just say I have a lot of personal experience with bad ideas -g-

Was there ever a barrier that could not be breached?
