Only the US military could come up with a gem of an idea like this. They seem to think they are completely immune from the lessons of history

It's not really the same as the Berlin wall, though is it? I guess they are looking at the Israeli barrier - if it presents a physical barrier to suicide bombers, is it all bad?

I think the war is all bad in the first place.

Was gonna mention those, they're certainly a better comparison than Berlin. They're also really really successful :rolleyes: I've given up asking why the US gov can't learn from history, it almost seems like they want to do everything which has already been proven to be a bad idea. That's probably why Putin's getting narky, after all, invading Russia is the worst idea of all historically speaking. Bush is probably already tempted!

Anyway, send in Banksy...

Thats we because we all know that the history books are written by dirty liberals. History has a liberal bias, its true.
