US Border Fence Meets Wall of Skepticism

  Publicerad av Emanuel Sidea

Critics said the fence does not take into account the extraordinarily varied geography of the 2,000-mile-long border, which cuts through Mexican and U.S. cities separated by a sidewalk, vast scrubland and deserts, rivers, irrigation canals and miles of mountainous terrain. (…)

And, they say, the estimated $2 billion price tag and the mandate that it be completed by 2008 overlook 10 years of legal and logistical difficulties the federal government has faced to finish a comparatively tiny fence of 14 miles dividing San Diego and Tijuana.

“This is the feel-good approach to immigration control,” said Wayne Cornelius, an expert on immigration issues at the University of California at San Diego.

Sverige hjälper inför USA:s attack

  Publicerad av Emanuel Sidea

Sverige hjälper USA i krigsplanerna mot Iran, enligt Jan Guillou.

Vi har tränat den amerikanska flottan att uppspåra och bekämpa sådana ubåtar som Iran - och Kina - disponerar. … En dieselelektrisk ubåt som de svenska i Gotlandsklassen eller de iranska eller kinesiska i Kiloklassen är oerhört mycket tystare än en atomubåt. … Att Sverige tränar den amerikanska flottan för krig mot Iran sker ju bakom ryggen på det svenska folket.
