Building Barriers


Do good fences make good neighbors?

Jericho  -  Divine intervention brings down the wall.

Troy  -  Greeks bearing gifts breaks the deadlock.

Korean DMZ  -  The DMZ has not brought peace, just an uneasy truce and continuous threats of war.

Vietnam DMZ  -  ummm...the North won.

Great Wall of China  -  At several points throughout its history the Great Wall failed to stop enemies, including in 1644 when the Manchu Qing marched through the gates of Shanhai Pass and replaced the most ardent of the wall-building dynasties, the Ming, as rulers of China. (Wikipedia)

Berlin Wall  -  A failing economy and the internet brought the wall down.

Maginot Line  -  The Germans went over and around the wall like it wasn't even there.

The Siegfried Line  -  On the Western Front, but Hitler had a two front war.

Trump's Wall? Why? What's the point?
