Do you really think that they have to ask permission to the Americans? I think they too have the right to make their own political alliances.\n___\n\n"Many experts predict the new closeness between the world's only superpower and Islamabad's fiercest rival will prompt Pakistan to develop even closer ties with its longtime strategic security partner, China.\n\nPakistan needs a deterrent against India.\n\nThe animosity between the two countries dates to partition in August 1947, when the British divided their former colony into two states. India was meant to be a secular democracy and Pakistan, a homeland for South Asian Muslims. More than six million Muslims migrated to Pakistan, and more than four million Hindus and Sikhs moved to India. Tremendous violence and upheaval during the partition process left more than one million people dead.\nIn the half-century since, Pakistan and India have fought three wars and come close a few other times. The unresolved issue of the disputed territory of Kashmir and periodic military buildups on both sides have kept tensions high. Many Pakistanis still worry that India wants to reunite the territory under its control. Both countries tested nuclear weapons in 1998".\n\nQuoted from: \nChina and Pakistan: A Deepening Bond\nAuthor:Esther Pan\nMarch 8, 2006\nhttp://www.cfr.org/publication/10070/china_and_pakistan.html

What is the question?...What areas/parts in Africa where there is still civil war of sometime of genocide?\n\nOf course our attention (U.S) and the UN focus should be now and should have been a long time now in the Darfur area Sudan.  There is a massive genocide taking place and we have overlooked this horrific tragedy.  George Clooney recently televised a special documentary focusing on this area and to expose the great ordeal that is happening now:\n\nThis is just a clip of an article I copied from BBC news\n"More than three million people need food aid or have fled their homes, and some 200,000 are estimated by the United Nations to have died because of the violence."\nBelow is a quota from the same article mentioned above this highlights the genesis of this war:\n"Sudan's government and the pro-government Arab militias are accused of war crimes against the region's black African population, although the UN has stopped short of calling it genocide."

India seeks to play a global role to match it;s growing economic stature.\n\nIt's bidding for a permanent seat in the UN security council.\n\nInterestingly, India was offered a permanent UN security council seat which it gave to China as show of friendship(bad decision) as china is now opposing India's bid.\n\nPakistan at this moment is trying to figure out whether it should support the jehadis fighting against US or it should support US and keep getting the aid on whcih it has survived for so many years.\n\nIndia is way ahead of Pakistan in all respects.

I think that there have to be certain punitive measures in place. I definitely dont like the idea o any one shaking the hands on one side and stabbing your back on another side. Nothing against the players, but if some proof exists that Pakistan sponsors terrorism, then it would be justified.

Try Unicef,(www.unicef.org).  I personally have donated through this site, it is a legitimate organization and will provide information about Darfur as well.

Human rights violations in Darfur are not made by the Sudanese government, there are gangs named Jinjaweed who are making that kind of violations.\nThe united states has no proof that the Sudanese government is the responsible.

Yes, example darfur. We can't peacefully walk in there and make everything okay.

They were together at one point but because of religious differences (India is Hindu and Pakistan is Muslim mainly) they were split (actually Afghanistan was also part of the country).  It was under British control.  When Britain removed themselves it was put into 3 separate countries.  Yes Kashmir is a disputed area between them and will always be.  I think it is both of their Achilles heel in moving up from 3rd world countries.

No war is not Right. Even the Mahabharat war was wrong but it happend. Also it should be noted that Pakistan is the work of the British. But the sad thing is that the problem sees no soloution in the near future. It will take only a miracle to solve this problem.

Politics plays a huge role, mostly because jews will actively support politicans that support Israel (or more importantly, will support those who run against people who support Israel).\n\nThis has little to do with a jewish conspiracy beyond that jewish americans are actually concerned about some place beyond here.  The average school kid couldn't point out where Darfur is on a map, and probably would only be guessing as to what continent it's on.  \n\nSo you have an active ally,  with strong grass roots support in the states and seems to be our only ally in the region that isn't totally insane and teaching their children to hate along with their formula.   Read the link to get an idea of what we're talking about.  I'm not jewish, but I can see the need to support anyone who opposes the level of depravity and evil that many of the muslim cultures have stooped to.

I am liberal and a Dem and I don't support military action in Darfur.  While what is going on there is HORRIBLE and deserves the attention of the world community, nation building and military intervention to preserve peace NEVER works.  The sentiments that led to war will never change.  Sadly, conflicts of that nature must be settled internally.

One of the best things Pervez Musharraf has done for Pakistan is to  allow the press to discuss important issues freely without any fear.  One such issue is the treatment of rape victims.  The papers and women from all over the country have been campaigning vigorously for a long time now and it has just proved successful.  I don't think that Pakistan will become a secular country, like France, but there are plenty of people there who have enough common sense to know when a law isn't working.  Defiantly a step in the right direction,  good on Pakistan I say!

No. I guess u got the wrong info. Let me give u some facts on India / Pak regarding Kashmir since 1947. Its long but i hope u read it. Read especially the part about partition, and the states having a choice whom to join.\n\n\nPakistan claims that Kashmir should be a part of Pakistan bcoz majority population is Muslim (mainly after terrorizing and driving out 600,000 Hindus). The Pak army just wants to use Kashmir as a base for a larger agenda of destroying and talibanizing India and converting it into a Islamic theocracy. And India's claim is based on the treaty signed by the then king of Kashmir (same treaty was signed by other princely states for accession to India) and secularism.\n\nUN Security Council resolutions 38-40, and particularly the resolution of August 13, 1948, said that Pakistan had attacked Kashmir, and ordered Pakistan to withdraw its forces and its tribals (those were disguised as tribals but they were pak army men). Pakistan has yet to obey UN Security Council and withdraw from lands (now called POK, Pak Occupied Kashmir) controlled illegally.\nRecently released documents reveal that in 1948, the then US Secretary of State Gen. George C. Marshall told the pro-Pak British that Kashmirs accession with India was legal and final as far as US was concerned.\nIn 1952, the Kashmir legislature, elected in elections recognized by observers as free and fair, with 100% of the legislators Muslim, voted to ratify Kashmirs accession with India. And the elections after that too were similar. Compare POK with Indian Kashmir.\n\nPakistan gave away a large part of the POK to China, which now claims those lands as its own.\n\nIn April 1993, then CIA director James Woosley at an open Senate hearing said, Pakistan, while not yet on the State Department's list of state sponsors of terrorism, but is Aon the brink. (in 1993, now its worse).\nIn December 1999, the Director of CIA George Tenet and State Department Coordinator for Counterterrorism Michael Sheen testified before a Senate subcommittee that US has evidence that Pakistan is a state-sponsor of terrorism against India.\nIn 2000, State Departments report on terrorism described Pakistans official involvement in terrorism against India, but fell short of adding Pakistan to list of countries sponsoring terrorism because that would have automatically triggered severe sanctions against an old cold-war ally.\nIn 2000, a bipartisan Congressional commission on terrorism recommended to the State Department that sanctions be imposed on Pakistan for its role in terrorism, but this report was ignored.\n\nThe British government in Spring 2001 put several Pakistan-supported organizations openly engaged in terrorism on the official list of terrorist organizations, to be followed later by the US.\nMajor political parties in Pakistan and Pak media have repeatedly asked Pak governments over the years to break bonds with terrorists and get out of the Kashmir issue, because supporting terrorists has resulted only in increasing Talibanization of Pakistan.\nBenazir Bhutto, ex-Pak Prime Minister, has said that ISI (Pakistani governments intelligence service) is a force onto itself, and she had no knowledge of what ISI was doing when she was PM.\nOn 11-21-01, the Hon. Mr. Robert D. Blackwell, US Ambassador to India, told the press that Pakistan-supported individuals involved in killings in Kashmir are terrorists and that They are not freedom fighters. No country will be permitted to provide sanctuaries to terrorists. He made similar comments again on 2-27-02\n\nPak Governments direct and obvious involvement in terrorism against India over decades has resulted in 50,000 HINDUS being amongst 70,000 innocent civilians KILLED and 500,000 TO 600,000 HINDUS FLED KASHMIR IN TERROR; world has been silent about this ethnic cleansing of Hindus from Kashmir.\n\nPakistan, which created, nurtured and protected Taliban, has claimed that Taliban is not terrorist.\nPakistan press reported in Dec. 2001 th

Ah, Kofi. Before being SG, Kofi was in charge of UN peacekeeper forces. While there he kept getting urgent messages from the UN troops in Rwanda. He promptly ignored them, and 800,000 people were brutally murdered. What a hero Kofi is.\n\nAnd in reviewing the atrocities in Darfur, Kofi has seen no genocide, despite over 1,000,000 blacks being killed by the Arab Muslim government and its agents. Heck, he has no problem with Sudan being on the UN Human Rights commission. And, he seems to have no problem with the fact that over $25 billion was kicked back to Saddam in the UN Oil-for-Blood Money scandal.\n\nSo, as far as I can see, Kofi is a typical useless tea-sipping corrupt and uncaring sack of manure.\n\nThat's why Clinton loved him so much. So alike.
