If I eyeball it right, the canal would need to be least 150 km long (Suez is about 200km) and the lowest high spot is 300m elevation (Gatun Lake for the Panama canal is 26 m). There's no water available for locks. Take a look at the tr

Since that's your objection, don't lead with a complaint about precision. Just to confirm - you do not object to the use of cluster munitions on troops, right? Only civilians, because of Article 51(5)(b)? But the use of explosive
