Pakistan said Monday it is prepared to erect a fence along its border with Afghanistan to prevent incursions by Taliban and Islamic extremists.It just might work...
Pakistan's president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, made the proposal Monday in a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice at the United Nations, Pakistani Foreign Minister Khursheed Mehmood Kasuri said.
Pakistan has sent thousands of troops to its western border to fend off an insurgency supported by remnants of the Taliban regime in advance of next Sunday's elections in Afghanistan.
A fence would be a further attempt to limit the passage of extremists through the mountainous border region --passage that has provoked international criticism.
"Pakistan can do nothing more than that to prevent incursions," Kasuri said. "We are fed up of people who say we have to do more."
Kasuri said Afghanistan has not responded to its proposal.
It worked for Israel...
Saudi Arabia wants one...
Pakistan is suggesting building one...
Why can't we have one too???
