Bill, you said: That the only permanent lasting solution to this mess is for both India & Pakistan to relinquish their claims to Kashmir.

I agree. But how do you do this and would that Kashmir be stable? After all, we take take a cue from Bangladesh. That is politically stable. So what you say is a good solution. But is, what you say practical. I think that is the question. Not that whether you and agree. I do agree with your suggestion that it is the best solution. But if that is not the best solution then why not settle for the next best, which is freeze the LoC.

That the only permanent lasting solution to this mess is for both India & Pakistan to relinquish their claims to Kashmir. Furthermore, this would be of immense benefit to the economies of both countries as they could then put their resources into development instead of into armies.

I agree. Fighting over territory is so pre-19th century anyway. Have we heard of any Western nations indulging in expansionism in recent decades? No, they are more focused on extending their influence instead.

Also, the structure of the future is not the hierarchy (e.g. a nation and its states), but the network (the internet is a great example). If we have to figure out a solution for this problem and many of the disputed territory problems of the world, it has to be in that context.
