" Iran to seal Pak border in 3 years " is the heading of a tiny news report. ( HT, July 1 ). Seems that Iran has decided to block its eastern border with Pakistan entirely within the next 3 years. " The Eastern borders of Iran have already been closed to the passage of animals and motor vehicles, yet there are certain areas in Saravan which should be blocked," said Police Chief Ahmadi Moghaddam. " Generally speaking the Eastern borders of the country will be blocked even for passers-by by the next 3 years," he said. Iran is an Islamic country but is sealing itself off from Pakistan because thousands of its police have died fighting drug traffickers and terrorists. But does such fencing work? Absolutely. The most dangerous border in the world is between North and South Korea which are separated by a demilitarised zone consisting of fencing and landmines. For over 50 years this has kept the peace between the 2 countries. North Korea sank a South Korean warship, the Cheonan and fired 90 shells into Yeonpyeong Island from its ships killin 2 marines and 2 civilians last year but the land border has remained secure. Israel's fence separating it from Gaza and the West Bank has drastically reduced the number of suicide attacks. If Iran, a Muslim country, is separating itself from Pakistan why are we talking to this country of terrorists on " bended knees " even though Pakistan has promised to use nuclear weapons against India if attacked by anyone? Probably because our foreign policy is written in Washington and Brussels. When all the politicians are criminals and all the civil servants are thieves they are open to blackmail. Iran is safe, Indians will die.
