shlombay, that's a very in-depth and analytical article. I disagree with some bits and pieces but overall, it's a very interesting read.

Small things - like when he says the people of 'NWFP' opposed the Afghan policy or the one-unit system. In fact, one of the most powerful interior ministers of the one-unit system was a Pashtun. Also, only Bachaa Khan and a few other wise men opposed Zia's Afghan policy, the majority was drunk with dreams of Jihad.Originally posted by shlombay
And in the concluding paragraphs, he talks about Pashtuns and the federation. He paints a reality in which a good place in a federation is the ideal solution... I disagree with that.
But I don't wanna start nit-picking here!"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be".
"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives".
