I don't suggest killing Musharraf. I suggest you open your eyes to the fact that one of his own people is soon going to do that job and then the US will be in a big pile of doodoo. I also suggest that you take care in preparing your battle plan so you don't risk losing American lives ... it's the least you could do for the brave Americans that are fighting for your country. Just a little helpful advice from a friend. You can take it or leave it. It's good to think ahead ... at least try to think ahead more than 2 days ... that's how you prevent problems before they become unsolvable. It's not a TV episode of MASH it's a real f***ing war and those are real American men risking their lives for you! Lola:)

A lot of this article is bullshit. Article 371 underlines the law which governs the ownership of property, business, land in Kashmir. It states that no, absolutely no person who isn't a Kashmiri, can legally own any property, land, or business in Kashmir. If a Kashmiri was married to a non kashmiri, their children lost all claims to the property, land or business. This article 371, which protected Kashmiri Moslems from losing their 'power', and prevented them from being subjected to the 'indignity' of working for the industrialist Hindu's of India, also prevented any economic activity or growth in the region. Traditionally, Kashmiri Moslems have never been very enterprising, except for carpet manufacturing. The law they enforced to protect themselves and prevent the local Hindus, who formed the educated and literate part of population, from getting too powerful. The law came back to bite them.
