1 I don't think that it is possible to seal that border. Oh, only the checkpoint you say. Need to just declare open season along the non-border. "It was a mistake, we didn't know where the border was."

2 When I read the headline I thought, "lightning has finally struck the shit house." But was disappointed by the very first paragraph.

~~Pakistan seals border with Afghanistan~~
Nope. They only closed one point. Try:
"Pakistan patches one leak in inner tube"
Nope.
"Pakistan vulcanizes a spot on a sieve"
That's better.

3 However, there would be no bar on the United Nations staff to move across the border.

With closed circuit cameras, maybe they'll catch them red-handed in their UN vehicles!

4 I think it's time we upped the ante. If it's possible, we should put a surveillance satellite in geosynchronous orbit, watch the pakiwaki-assghanistan border all the time and fry anything that moves. Unfair? Who cares?
