The idea that Kashmiris have been subjected to "unspeakable atrocities" is ridiculous. In fact, Indian govt has done everything to the contrary. It forbade non-Kashmiri indians from owning land in Kashmir; it allowed terrorist infiltrators from Pakistan to threaten and kill Hindus from the Kashmir region - which drove away most of the hindus from that area leaving the region mostly muslim. The atrocities have been mostly conducted by the terrorists coming in from Pakistan. That is the evil nation which needs to be stopped from destroying what once was a beautiful place. Radical Islam is the problem we need to root out. This Iraq liberation still has the potential to turn out terribly if Shiites come to power and make women wear burkhas; not allow them to learn - just like in most other muslim countries. But wait, I think these women are forced to wear burkhas by their husbands BECAUSE they are afraid that other muslim men will rape them if they find them beautiful. That was the reason this tradition started in the first place...
