Actually some walls work very well. The Great Wall worked to keep Mongols
out of China for several hundred years. Hadrian's wall kept what is now
England from speaking Norwegian or Celtic. The Israeli wall is given credit
for significantly reducing raids on Israel. The Maginot Line would have
worked if the guns could have been pointed towards Belgium. The only wall
that didn't work in recent years is Wall Street. ;-)
