Saudis building a 550 mile fence on Iraq border to keep violence out
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/01/01/wirq01

Security has collapsed so badly in Iraq that the Saudis are planning a 550 mile fence along the Iraqi border to keep the violence out of Saudi Arabia.

There is also great concern over the country splitting up into groups.

The violence is not new - the info on the fence is.

3. Cool! Did You Know They Are Paying For Our Fence Too (Bond Sales)
As they and the Chineese buy up more and more of our debt they pay for the fence we will be building too.

4. I think their fence is more hitech than our fence.
Course if Haliburton is chosen to build our fence we won't ever have a fence. We will just pay for one several times over.
