#1 Until we can break the Taliban from Pak Army control we need Pakistan on board.

#2 Back when Perv was president, he briefly proposed that Pakistan should build a barbed wire border of sorts with Afghanistan, to keep the rabble from going back and forth.

The idea was adamantly opposed by Karzai, as it would cut a lot of the Pushtun tribes in half, and with it, his power base.

The idea was a good one, however, as it would have made *rapidly* crossing the border much more difficult, as well as identifying the more used illegal crossing points, which could then be put under surveillance.
