If we can't secure our own borders why are we trying to secure theirs? Only difference I see is authorization to use drones and kill people. Maybe we are testing our net generation border enforcement system there.
Quote from toc:
The Af-Pak border is extremely hard to secure due to mountainous terrain. It is 1800 km long border.
US is in Afganistan to remove AQ and Talibian. Now these two have protection inside Pakistan so very soon US will be 'up the skirts' of Pakistan.
Only yesterday Hillary Clinton has said "US will get terrorists anywhere in the world and that too without asking for the permission of the local government".
The problem here is US cannot conquer and martial law Af and Pak forever. If the mentality and hostility of people towards US does not change then US will be have to be there for next few hundred years.
Same as I said, if Pakistan does not want to stop terrorism, then US cannot do anything. In Iraq peace decended only when top leaders sat down and decided that 'enough is enough' and civil war should end and insurgents should be chased out and killed. It was not the US military that was able to bring this. It was the local people and their leaders who changed the course of their country and future.
