And if you don't believe it ask this from General Hamid Gul who was in direct contact with Mujahiddin all the time. Afghan Taliban did not say a word against Pakistan even when they were being bombed because we did not play as smartly as we should have. I mean when did we hear any Uzbik, Tajik or somebody who is not even circumcised fighting in the ranks of Taliban but they are all there among these millitants. There are two dimensions of revolt in Pakistan, if you talk about Balochistan then they are revolting because of their neglect by us all these past years. I mean Sui Gas is a Balochi asset but we made fertilizer plants which use this gas as basic raw material right on the border of SIndh and Balichistan right in Sindh and not in Balichistan. I was with an high ranking army officer the other day and he tells me that once he was in an ECNEC meeting and a general gave a proposal for sui gas supply to a village in Balochistan because the province is revolting and we have to give them favor but one of the voters do not agree to it because it was not economical project cost is too high and as in ECNEC meetings only one vote can cancel a project it could not be materialised it was not approved. Army officer who told me this was crying that we have done a lot of bad things to our fellows and we are reeping what we bow. You want to change the tribal Sardari System there it can only be changed with education not by force because this way they would change themselves. When we forced them to change we break the accord we made to them when Pakistan came into being that Federal Govt. would not meddle with there internal affairs. As for NWFP only a fool would disagree to foreign involvement I mean US held major summits in India to discuss the situation in NWFP with India and Russia. Imean it seems absurd as Russia is no way near that region and India has nothing to do with it as it is on the other side of borders but they are having conferences in India over the issue not just political but millitia involved in meetings. Pakistan whose circumstances they are discussing not even a participant. These millitants have nothing to do with the army funded trained combatants who made Russia leave Afghanistan.
