More on the Situation in France

My prediction:

Soon the French will begin building a security fence around the rioting suburbs.

Only they won't call it a security fence.
But that won't stop them from hiring Israeli consultants.

Empiricism and practicality are strong motivators: [h/t to BenS]

The Russian government is mulling the construction of a security barrier along the border with Chechnya similar to Israel's West Bank security fence as part of its efforts to combat Muslim terror, The Jerusalem Post has learned.

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Internal Security Minister Gideon Ezra met on Monday with Dmitry Kozak, head of counterterrorism in Chechnya and the Kremlin's envoy to southern Russia, for talks on the effectiveness of the security fence and Israel's overall success in fighting Palestinian terror.
