#3 It will work in Iraq because we can SHOOT to KILL when someone violates the border over there.

It is a free fire zone. No positive recognition required.....

#4 So, what's the problem? I don't see a big difference between the Iraq/Iran border and ours with Mexico. The drug traders are equally as deadly, and SHOULD be in a "free-fire" zone, So should the ACLU lawyers that try to help those same murderous drug-runners. I'll even volunteer to man one of those outposts, as long as the rules of engagement don't differ much from the ones in Iraq. Give me a dozen men and a nice hilltop near the border, some night-vision equipment, and a sniper-rifle per person, and we'll "do our duty, to God and country". Why should Iraq have secure borders, while ours are as wide-open as the landscape?
