Sorry, I didn't mean to come off that way, I'm just curious... I think as long as we cling to regional, tribal, and linguistic affiliations in such a defensive manner, it will be difficult for everyone to get along.

I mean, we're very quick to call our own tribe the largest, our own dialect the purest, and our region the most culturally Pashtun, as I'm sure you might have experienced.

Although I wholeheartedly agree with you that we all want to see our nation reach new heights, I don't think it will happen until we truly put the nation as a whole before the "me and mine," which is extremely difficult in regions like ours since it's more than often a survival game.
