What you are saying is clearly INCORRECT. I am from Balochistan and can tell you that most Balochis and Pashtuns are LOYAL to Pakistan. Only a minority of tribes are falling prey to “outside” influence and creating unrest. In Pakistan, people of all ethnicities live in harmony in cities like Lahore, Islamabad, and Karachi. Its best for us in Balochistan to work for improvement of Balochistan and the Pakistani nation. A strong Pakistan is the best thing for all of us and the best thing for the world because it would lessen terrorism. We need an educated and developed Balochistan in the future and I agree with the ideas of Former Pakistani PM Jamali (who is a Balochi, by the way).

Your comments make you sound like and Indian. Its best worry about your own nation first.

This seems to be the typical if-we-ignore-the-problem-it-will-go-away approach that has been proven not to work. This is exactly the same fallacy that the Zionist extremists are building their utopian society on. To create and sustain a Jewish state, a Shia state, a Communist state, or a red haired state etc. requires much more of the violence, racism, and psychopathic behavior in general than it tries to solve - and it can NEVER be free and democratic. What the hell happened to tolerance and acceptance?!?

As I see it, xenophobia and intolerance in the minds of people are the problems that need to be addressed. Ethnic isolation is not a solution, because that only puts the problems in the cupboard…to be taken out again when it has grown stronger at a later date!

Sure, redrawing some borders may have practical benefits, but it will not change a thing until a sustainable solution is found to address the intolerance that led to the border redrawing idea being ‘necessary’ in the first place.

One thing I am fully convinced of is that the fact that this is an idea from the USA makes it very dangerous. After all, changes in any society has to come from within not from the outside; the mess in Iraq, the blind support of the Israeli occupation, and the Mohammed incident are good proof of that.

I think, one of the best ways anybody can help and promote positive changes in another society is to lend a helping hand (only when it is asked for), but not getting in way of changes is the single most important way to help (no kind support of a dictator, no kind insistence on a particular political ideology, no kind insistence on privatization before society is ready for it etc.).

Mr. Peters claims with irony that ‘ethnic cleansing works’, but I think he ignores some very important points. If ignoring the minority of Native Americans who have survived in the ethnic cleansing ‘required’ to build the USA, then ethnic cleansing seems to work - but only due to far superior fire power and the thoroughness of the ‘cleaner’. If the Croats had been powerful and thorough enough with their ‘cleaning job’ on the Serbs during WWII, then the dormant hatred and thirst for revenge of the Serbs would not have led to an inverted repeat of history 40 years later. So maybe ethnic cleansing works, but cheap spot removers will not do the job and a quality detergent is just too expensive.
