#1 ...Way doable. Just one problem - a bunch of approximately innocent people are going to die because the stuff will be smuggled in alongside women and children. Are we ready?

#2 approximately innocent people

You remaind me of my mentor's second favorite story, Mike. A mathematician gives a lecture on applying mathematics to biology. The lecture deals with a mathematical description of an elephant. The lecture starts with the sentence "Let us approximate an elephant by a ball of appropriate dimensions".

#4 Finally. As we all know...the only way to stop the infiltration is to declare a 5 mile strip along border a free-fire zone from sunset to sunrise.

I don't care how many goats, or goat-buggerers we take out. It will not take more than a week for the border infiltration to cease.

#7 contrux some near Yemen

Joe, you definitely need to check a map. Not only is Yemen on the other side of Persian Gulf/Gulf of Oman, but separated by large chunks of SA, UAE, Oman--thusly almost as far away from Iran as Jordan is, as crow flies.
