Pakistan - India, once more
-
The points to be notes are: -Pakistan is the only one that has continuously called for a solution to this conflict OTHER than war. -Pakistan has already stated it will not INITIATE war. -The fundamental problem in the region is the occupation of Kashmir by India. If India ends its occupation, the resistance to their oppression will end. -Kashmir is not a part of India; no one recognizes it as such except India. -To say that the problems between India and Pakistan are a result of the latter’s aggression and the former’s desire only to protect itself is an oversimplification and is misleading. -More than 50 years ago, the UN demanded that India allow the Kashmiris to hold a plebiscite to decide their own status. Such a plebiscite has yet to happen. - Indian leader J Nehru himself promised a plebiscite in Kashmir. Still his successors have been avoiding it since then. - Pakistan does not want Kashmir. Pakistan wants a plebiscite in Kashmir. - Pakistan wants international force/observers to monitor the situation in Kashmir. India strongly opposes the idea. Why? Ammar There is a difference in knowing the path and walking the path.

USSR attacks Afghanistan in 80s (or was it 79 to be exact?). America fears USSR will dominate the region and sends all out help to Afghanistan through Pakistan. America provides weapons (including AK-47, the famous gun western ppl see Islamic militants holding in most of the pics), CIA gives training for covert OPs (do note that Osama Bin Laden was well-trained by CIA) to Pakistan and Afghanistan, and gives financial help (obviously) too. All for its own purpose. When USSR is "defeated" in 1989, America's objective is complete and retreats all its help and leaves the two affected countries in limbo. Militants (in Afghanistan) get hold of the weapons and ... your guess is as good as mine. I would love to hear from anyone who contradicts this story.

Infact it should be other way round. Agnihothra wrote: pakistan has occupied a third of Kashmir right after both countires got independance My dear friend, dont you know that after independence Pakistan didnt even had a army that could fight. Pakistani government made small rooms in small buildings its offices. Pakistan started from scratch. How can a country like this occupy a third of a state so big.

My esteemed friend, I have every respect for your opinions. But please do make sure that your opinions in this case relate to facts. The freedom struggle (terrorism in your words) started in late 80s whereas UN demanded a plebiscite 50 years back !

I just want to say I appreciate discussions like this. Generally civilized statements of what each side believes really helps me to understand the situation with out only having my very biased news media telling me what they want.

Ammar wrote: Pakistan has already stated it will not INITIATE war. That's so nice of pakistan. Running a proxy war for 12 years with India it says that it will not initiate a war. It's a known fact that Pakistani army aids the terrorists. During Kargil war there were pakistani soldiers captured and killed. So to say that they will not initiate a war is just crap. Ammar wrote: Pakistan is the only one that has continuously called for a solution to this conflict OTHER than war. India has been calling for no WAR since 1971 inspite of the fact that they won 1971 war. Pakistan is calling for a no war solution because a war this time is going to destroy Pak. Pak just wants to show of some that they are on the right side. Ammar wrote: The fundamental problem in the region is the occupation of Kashmir by India. If India ends its occupation, the resistance to their oppression will end. Fundamental problem is that leaders in both the countries have made people in each country to hate each other for their own selfish reasons. I saw in a documentary how the Pakistani education system is broken down. Due to the lack of such edication system all your mullah's and imams are just exploiting the masses. Atleast in India you would hear some voices asking people to get along with Pakistan but I don't think you will hear the same in Pakistan. Anyway it is very unfortunate that so many things have gone wrong in history (for about 1000 years not just the 50 odd years) that lead to all this crisis and we can't change history. The question is is their any solution now. There would be a solution is Pakistan stops terror first. India has said that India is more than willing to talk. Local Kashmiris want peace. Kashmir was very peaceful for a long time and people never wanted freedom or join Pakistan. The whole thing started because of certain religious fundamentlists and their desire for power. The purely Kashmiri freedom fighters are surrendering and want peace. There are so many foreign terrorists from Arabs, Sudan, Afghan, Pakistan who are fighting in Kahmir. Frankly, this tells that it is not a freedom movement. Unfortunately, I don't see terror being stopped any time soon. Because Pakistan wanted money for US it supported US war against terrorism even though Taliban was a creation of Pakistan. They can't do the same thing with India. Stephen Cohen pointed out there will be no war and there would be no peace. But t
