Saudi Arabia is pushing ahead with plans to build a fence to block terrorists from crossing its 560-mile border with Iraq _ another sign of growing alarm that Sunni-Shiite strife could spill over and drag Iraq's neighbors into its civil conflict.
The barrier, which hasn't been started, is part of a $12 billion package of measures including electronic sensors, security bases and physical barriers to protect the oil-rich kingdom from external threats, said Nawaf Obaid, head of the Saudi National Security Assessment Project, an independent research institute that advises the Saudi government.
THE SAUDIS ARE BUILDING AN ANTI-TERROR FENCE, AND NEITHER THE UN, NOR THE EU, NOR HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH, OR ISM OR AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL PROTESTED.
BUT WHEN ISRAEL BUILT A FENCE - FOR THE SAME REASON, THEY ALL PROTESTED AND EVEN TOOK ISRAEL TO THE WORLD COURT.
WHY THE DOUBLE STANDARD? SIMPLE: ANTI-SEMITISM. AND THIS IS THE VERY SAME REASON WHY ISRAEL WASN'T ALLOWED TO DESTROY HIZBALLAH, TOO. JEWS ARE HELD TO A DIFFERENT SET OF RULES THAN EVERYONE ELSE. IT'S UNFAIR. AND WRONG. THE ENTIRE WEST IS FACING THE SAME ENEMY, AND WE SHOULD ALL PULL TOGETHER.
