The problem with this fight is the borders do not reflect the real makeup of the area. This is pretty much a ethnic fight, with Omar leading the Pushtuns.

Without the full support of the Pakastani's, we will be fighting this border war for along time.

#6 I think it's time to mark the Pakistan/Afghanistan border. I recommend we do it with radioactive waste, with a pylon emplaced every 100 yards. Paint the pylon bright fluorescent orange/funky purple stripes. At night, the glow from the pylons will mark the border for all to see. In the daytime, the pile of border-runners dying of cancer and radiation sickness will mark the border.

We could do a throw back to the pre-Russian invasion days and torque-off the Pahkistani's by funding Pashtunistan rebels in the tribal areas. Kind of how Iraq, Iran and Turkey fund each others Khurd seperatist movements.

I would go farther back to what the US did in Laos and Cambodia, simply follow the enemy to where ever he is and deny them sanctuary.

Borders should mean nothing in War. Didn't the US give notice that countries that harbor terrorist would be considered a enemy of the US?

Why hasn't this been applied to Pakistan, Syria and/or Iran. Can you say that they are not providing sanctuary?

It is sad that people will have to die because there is a imaginary line where you cannot pass, but your enemy can. This isn't a game, the reality on the ground is the border.

This goes against international law, but international law isn't designed to protect criminals and terrorist, or is it?

#9 Show me this book of international laws. Our Supreme Court has started to reference it in their decisions.
