http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a11/cybersurg/brf/Pak-FATA-map.jpg The map that the link above shows will give the interested person information about what we are dealing with. The map shows the NWFP (North West frontier Province) of Pakistan in white. To the top right corner of the picture are "the "Northern Areas" a Pakistani euphemism for the portion of Kashmir occupied by Pakistan. To the east of that and invisible in this map is Indian Kashmir. The portions of the map colored grey, red and yellow are the FATA or "Federally Administered Tribal Areas" of Pakistan. These areas have now come under the control of Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Attacks on US and NATO troops in Afghanistan occur from bases in FATA which are not administered from Pakistan at all, despite the name. So there is a continuous belt of land occupied by Islamic extremists starting from FATA to the West, NWFP to the east of that, and Pakistan occupied Kashmir to the East of that. The insurgency in Indian Kashmir is an Islamist insurgency that is being called a "freedom struggle", just like Hamas and the Taliban/Al Qaeda have freedom struggles in progress against Jews and the America. Any mistaken Indian feelings that Kashmir should be given "freedom" should really be seen in the light of knowledge of what is actually happening in that part of the country and world, which is not a strong point among many Indians, given India's failed education system and irrelevant news media. As an aside, look on the map for a place called Darra Adamkhel. It is a red dot just below Peshawar. Darra Adamkhel is Pakistan's unofficial arms manufacturing area where you can buy Kalashnikov clones for less than US $ 100. All our friendly neighborhood terrorists get arms from there, or from China. Check this video - there's a longer one somewhere... http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=Arjc_tKofhA&feature=related shiv
