Fences

Robert Frost wrote in one of his poems that fences make good neighbors. Well, that may be true in small New England towns. But in the Middle East, the security wall that Israel has constructed to separate Israel from the Palestinian Territories hasn't had that kind of effect for the region.

If this were a simple situation, one could simply point at the Israelis and say that they were the bad guys. But this is a very complicated situation and the truth is that everybody involved in the Mideast Crisis can take a share of the responsibility for the presence of this wall.
