Great Wall Of.... North America...

Imagine.....

You've just secured your country by putting up a massive
shield of security around it, it took you roughly 270 years
to put the pieces all together....

Now it's finished.

Your people kick back, the government likewise, and relaxe,
You are safe from the invading hords.... or are you?
but in a short period of time you are invaded anyway.

What gives?!?

How did they do it? Whoa! lots o' cash to the men who watch
the entrance ways! They bought out the gate keepers!!!

Far fetched?

The story above happened, it was the great wall of China.
The Chinese Emporers eventually placed a lot of
stock in building a wall accross the country to protect
it. (Actually, "The Wall" is a collection of walls built
over a longer time and joined together)

In the 100 years following the "completion" of the wall they
were invaded, simply by bribing the gate keepers.

Fast forward .... 2006 responsibility for some of the gates to
the U.S. is about to be sold over to a country with a hole
between "The Gate Keepers" and "The Gate crashers".
The hole has gates and keepers as well at the moment, and
that is SOME protection, but for how long?

Think about China and the Great wall folks.

Should responsibility for essential infrastructure EVER be
controlled from OUTSIDE the country??

Imagine the consequences of action such as this....
