THE NEW MONGOL HORDES: COMMUNIST CHINESE WAR LORDS. China occupies a large portion of Kashmir from its Wars with Pakistan and India there, China occupies all of Aksai Chin, and occupies all of Tibet, annexed Sinkiang and many other provinces along the Afghanistan-Pakistan-India-Nepal borders around the militarily vital mountains passes through and all around Tibet and Kashmir and Jumma and Hunza provinces. I beleive that Musharraf understands that strategically, India and Pakistan should build on Peace, and Trade and a mutual shared history, culture and peoples, their mutual enemy is COMMUNIST China, as COMMUNIST China's involvement in the Talib (Al Queda Taliban) and various islamic extremist groups from Syria and Iran and Iraq, through Afghanistan and Pakistan and India's Kashmir region, through Bangladesh and Nepal currently, and right on down through Indonesia and even as far as the Phillipines, all look islamic, but are backed directly by COMMUNIST China and Libya and not the muslims we have all been misled to beleive are behind it, the real power and funding and logistics and grand strategy behind the curtain, the bamboo curtain, is the Imperial COMMUNIST Chinese military planners. All for COMMUNIST China to control oil for its new industrialization courtesy of the WTO and military modernization and world domination plans. This will prove out and is unfolding now. Be careful of those who say we must do all to "PROMOTE TRADE" which really means, we must all "bend over" and dismantle our factories and jobs and ship them all to COMMUNIST China so the COMMUNISTS can dictate the world's only remaining superpower (America's) eventual terms of surrender and enslavement as the light of freedom is extinguished for a 1,000 years and turned over to the new MONGOL HORDES: Bin Laden and his Communist Chinese Military Master War Lords. Just where do you think Bin Laden goes? Just where do you think all those short trades were made from, none other than the COMMUNIST CHINESE controlled Hong Kong market. Peru recently ruled by a Japanese President, is where Bin Laden sent his killers to vacation. Chinese factories dot all of South America where there once was Japanese investments, there are now only Japanese Mandarins working for and with the COMMUNIST CHINESE on promises of administering the new Industrial Zones along China's and Korea's Free Trade Zone eastern asian seaboard. OIL the milk of Islam, is about to be squeezed by Communist China. I am, Truly your$, -Crystal Ball

Kashmir is a human problem. It has nothing to do with religion but everything to do with poverty We need a change of our Westernized mindset of dealing with our problem by the methods our opponents or others make us see as plausible. We must apply our mind to it. The British for their own purpose created this artificial nonsense about Hindu and Muslim religions. Can anyone in his senses believe that Hindus and Muslims always lived in segregated settlements in India or that lanes and by-lanes in all rural areas were aflame with hatred and bloodshed between the two communities for centuries? On independence, this British-imposed mind created the thought of secularism and its implementation in a horrendous manner by politicians, particularly by the Congress. Does this mind set today mould the leadership of the Hindutva, RSS, Shiv Sena, Bajrang Dal? One wonders. India has to regain its mind from this legacy of the British to see things as they are and not as others show them to us, howsoever technologically advanced or knowledgeable they may be. theindianprogrammer.com

Kashmir, the Imperiled Paradise By SALMAN RUSHDIE Salman Rushdie is the author of "The Satanic Verses," "The Moor's Last Sigh" and, most recently, "The Ground Beneath Her Feet." LONDON -- For more than 50 years, India and Pakistan have been arguing and periodically coming to blows over one of the most beautiful places in the world, Kashmir, which the Mughal emperors thought of as Paradise on earth. As a result of this unending quarrel, Paradise has been partitioned, impoverished and made violent. Murder and terrorism now stalk the valleys and mountains of a land once so famous for its peacefulness that outsiders made jokes about the Kashmiris' supposed lack of fighting spirit. I have a particular interest in the Kashmir issue because I am more than half Kashmiri myself, because I have loved the place all my life and because I have spent much of that life listening to successive Indian and Pakistani governments, all of them more or less venal and corrupt, mouthing the self-serving hypocrisies of power while ordinary Kashmiris suffered the consequences of their posturings. Pity those ordinary, peaceable people, caught between the rock of India and the hard place that Pakistan has always been! And, as the world's newest nuclear powers square off yet again, their new weapons making their dialogue of the deaf more dangerous than ever before, I say, A plague on both their houses. "Kashmir for the Kashmiris" is an old slogan, but the only one that expresses how the subjects of this dispute have always felt; how, I believe, the majority of them would still say they feel, if they were free to speak their minds without fear. lists.isb.sdnpk.org

Pakistan continues to re-invent itself. ... Separate electorates have been abolished. Minorities can now vote with the mass population. This has now become a reality after 15 years of being disenfranchised. A big change this. Another blow to the extremism and one step forward to being a more moderate country. Furthermore, in a move that is going to have far reaching positive implications in the way the country is governed, the following have also been announced: 1. National Assembly seats increased from 207 to a total of 350 2. 60 seats reserved for women 3. 25 seats reserved for technocrats. 4. Minimum qualification for being admitted to Assembly is now a graduate (there goes the feudal class!!) In further signs of a more liberal Pakistan, the govt. has allowed establishment of private television channels. No more state controlled news being fed to the masses and no longer will a sadistic bureaucrat sitting in Islamabad decide what news Pakistanis can see and hear and what not. Free and independent news right here in Pakistan! Sign of the times.... The Pakistan India standoff continues to lose momentum. The Chief Minister of Indian Administered Kashmir has publicly acknowledged that terrorist activities in his province have gone down after Musharraf's speech. Also, the Indian Home Minister, considered to be a hawk and a PM in waiting, has also publicly accepted that what Musharraf said was indeed "path-breaking". Cooling tensions? You bet your rupee on it. The visiting US Sec. Of State Mr. Powell has invited on behalf of Bush that Pakistani President visit USA in the "near future". Interesting to remember that one year back no USA President would have liked to even be caught photographed with the Pakistani General. Sign of the times.... Pakistan is being repackaged, re-branded and resold. Let roll! SM....
