Political posturing along Gaza and Egypt border

Sadly the Palestinian people are being used by terror leaders as pawns to re-gain control of this part of the world. Hamas must be sidelined, for good, and Abbas needs to have the chance to lead his people to statehood.

I'm sure that things are more than tense, one thought came to my mind: Is the scene at the Gaza-Egypt border going to be repeated at the US-Mexican border when we decide to build a wall there too?

clipped from www.alertnet.org Abbas to press Olmert to end Gaza blockade Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will ask Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to end a blockade on Gaza and accept his offer to control Gaza's border crossings, The two leaders are expected to meet on Sunday to discuss how to push forward with peace talks after Hamas breached Gaza's border with Egypt in defiance of a blockade that Israel says is meant to counter rocket fire from Gaza. Hamas has said it would prevent the move unless it had a say in future agreements on border crossings and U.S. and Israeli officials doubt Abbas's security forces are strong enough to take control of the crossings unless Hamas agrees.
