If we had borders that meant something, we wouldn't need walls. Good
fences make good neighbors. I'll bet it's no coincidence that we have no
boundaries, so to speak, allowing anyone to walk in, and likewise we think
others have no boundaries. We go in and do anything we want in anyone's
country, up to and including invading them because we want their oil.
