Pakistan fencing border with Afghanistan
Islamabad — Pakistan has started fortifying its border with Afghanistan with fences and checkpoints to prevent al-Qaeda and Taliban fugitives from sneaking into the country, a military spokesman said Wednesday.

New light towers and checkpoints were being erected along the barren western frontier around the town of Chaman, a main border crossing, about 760 kilometres southwest of the capital, Islamabad, said Gen. Shaukat Sultan.

The traffic back and forth across the sparsely inhabited border region has been a source of contention between Pakistan and the Afghan government of President Hamid Karzai, which has accused Pakistan of sheltering fighters of the ousted Taliban regime or their al-Qaeda allies.

1. Actually that area of the world is more like the
wild west and not controlled by the Central Government

This one I can actually understand.

2. In Maine it was always easy to drive into Can. but
I see items of the same thing going on. People used to shop back and forth. We are soon going to live like all police states at this rate. The whole world has started to go bad since this group got into Washington. Anyone else see this besides me? Is it really for our one good? How can it be?

3. Borders and Fences
Bring humanity together in the name of love and brotherhood. Any moron can figure that one out, 'eh?

I have an eight foot cement fence around my house with lots of broken glass embedded in the cement on top with camera-ready equipment. My neighbors love it!
