The Thais build a fence
"First it was Israel, then Saudi Arabia. Now Thailand plans to build a concrete fence along part of its border with Malaysia."
It used to be that Communists built fences to keep in their own people. Now countries all over the world are building fences to keep out Islamist terrorists (although see Jihad Watch -- one report says the Thais are building the wall so that the army can trap them before they can flee into Malaysia). The International Court of Justice is going to be very busy if it is going to adjudicate the legality of all these fences.
