The Eastern Border Wall
No, not the wall that separates Israel from the Palestinian Territories, not that one, so thoroughly detested as an 'apartheid' abomination by a country that seeks to defend its citizens from incessant suicide bombers and other uncivil slaughter devices. The one that preceded it, the one built by the Islamic Republic of Iran.You had no idea? Never heard of the restraining wall that Iran began building in the early 1990s and is still busily completing?
There were no protests about that wall. Separating Iran from its neighbours in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Those neighbours who were threatening peaceful Iran by their unrestrained drug trafficking, by making drugs readily available within Iran, smuggled out of Afghanistan, and victimizing poor, unresistant Iranians, creating a problem for law-abiding Iran.
For with drugs inevitably comes drug traffickers, and those who seek to profit more extensively than others, creating an atmosphere of violence that accompanies cartels and other assorted psychopathic types. Drug trafficking also hugely rewards others who seek to control their passage and sale, rebel groups and insurgents. Say, for example, the Taliban.
Oh, not just they, also those who labour mightily in government circles to sacrifice themselves for the greater good of their country as Members of Parliament, former warlords who find it also personally expedient to direct their followers not to forget the untold riches that are available throughout a world addicted to opiates.
Iran had become a corridor out of Afghanistan, where 90% of the world's opium found its way throughout the Middle East and on toward Europe. Iran doesn't mind being a leaky sieve and allowing terrorists to infiltrate as long as they're with the loyal Republican Guard, and Tehran is proud of its satellite terror militias installed in Gaza and Lebanon, but drugs are a problem not to be countenanced.
The armed groups and conflict between them related to the smuggling and trafficking of drugs are to be discouraged, no longer able to float their wares through Iran with the closure by 2015 of the last remaining border areas open to them. The 1,800 kilometre border is soon to be completely blocked off from access; the wall completed. No complaints from anyone about this.
A country that seeks to defend itself and its population from explosive, immediate death, however, is clearly engaging in indefensible behaviour and must be condemned unequivocally by the free world.
