A world of fences

Israel is building a fence along its rugged 130 mile border with Egypt. So claims this article posted on yahoo.com. The United States continues work on a 700 mile fence with Mexico.

A speech by The President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, on April 13, 2011 at Goerge Washington University...
