True. And I don't know the issue very well. But what I see going on is Pakistan (or elements within Pakistan) and the international mujahedin trying to worsen -- and prolong -- an already bad situation. (They seem to like to do this kind of thing a lot.) I don't know about India, but in this part of the world, "national determination movements" are usually actually a small minority of crazed nationalists being manipulated by cynical politicians. The USSR national-determination-movemented itself out of existence 13 years ago, and everybody is worse off. So I am quite skeptical in general. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
