I hope the case really gets litigated and comes to trial. Pro-Israeli cabal can only dupe the public and win the propaganda war with innuendos, character assassination, lies and outshouting because of their stranglehold on the Western mass media but cannot win in the court of law where facts are examined coolly, rationally and deliberately. Such public debate will prove suicidal for the cabal and give Jimmy Carter a glorious victory and vindication. <br>I bet you, however that the cabal will crumble when they realize the foolishness that caused them to sue in the first place and quietly drop the case. Hope that does not happen.</p>assadiqTue, 03 May 2011 17:51:10 -0000http://news.antiwar.com/?p=3#comment-674604<p>The only logical thing for Pakistan and AFghanistan to do is to ditch the frontier created by the British 'diktat' whose sole justification was creation of a buffer state between Russian Bear and the British bulldog. A supposed (albeit fictitious) longing by the Russians for a 'warm water port' which served about the same purpose for the British as the Iraqi WMDs did for Bush.<br>The Pakhtoon nation is bisected by the Durand Line, an intolerable situation for the nationalists. What Pakistan has to offer Afghans is (a) access to sea, (b) a citizenry that is reasonably modern and receptive to represntative form of government., (c) legal access to vast markets and institutions of higher learning and (d) esssential unity of faith. What Afghanistan has to offer Pakistan is a) a defendable nation and b) access to vast mineral wealth including gas deposits and fissionable materials. A Pak-Afghan Federation will be a win-win situation for both because there is historical, geographical , cultural and ethnic affinity between those two nations. Only, they will have to start thinking of themselves as citizens of (Silk Road?) Federation rather then as Sindhis, Punjabis, Balochis, Pushtoon, Hazaras, Tajiks, Mahajitr etc etc.<br>Think about it. indians did it. EU is doing it. North Yemen and South Yemen did it. Why not Pakistanis and Afghans?</p>assadiqFri, 13 Jun 2008 22:54:47 -0000
