Interesting article. I had never heard of the Frontier Corp before this. It certainly doesn't seem as if they are likely, willing, or even capable of sealing the border with Afghanistan. Not that it would matter, as al-Qaida and Taliban could easily have crossed long ago.

One thing it does point out, perhaps unintentionally, is how demands from any country that it seal the borders is logistically impossible. We can't do it in Southern California, and it sure as heck isn't going to happen in Pakistan or Kashmir.

Perhaps if something like the Berlin Wall were constructed along entire borders like the Great Wall of China there would be some hope, but for long and remote borders to be patrolled by a few thousand soldiers is ridiculous. It's a gesture, and nothing more.

Of course, that's why some of us were laughing at all the reports for the past 6 months regarding the 'help' we were getting from the pakistanis in 'sealing' the Durand Line.

Kashmir is different. There the pakistani army is actively supplying the terrorists with arms and covering fire in order to facilitate their attacks on india.

I have to give Musharraf credit for thoroughly yanking America's chain with his so-called cooperation. The same jihadis attacking American soldiers are now killing indians.
