Hi Condor; Re "In this day and age, a fence seems so...umm......amateurish?" What good is a fence when the wind blows poisonous gasses right across the border? How high would a fence have to be to stop mortar shells? Israel has no long term option other than negotiations between equals. They can't pull off negotiations the way that a father treats his 14-year old who wants driving lessons. -- Carl

Read my previous post, you'll see that I agree with you. Message 17617147 In the Israeli context, I believe that a fence would be effective in stoping most Palestinian H-bombs. As a result, more conventional warfare would prevail in which the Israeli advantage would probably lead to conclusive negotiations. The trick for the Israelis is to be able to use their conventional advantage. A fence just might do it since it might very well stop the Palestinian H-bombs or render them bearably few in number.
