Pakistan and India's Other Problems

You mean it is more than just religious hatred and terrorists?

"Pakistani officials also wanted to discuss ongoing tensions over water from Himalayan rivers flowing down from Indian Kashmir into the Indus river basin in Pakistan. Pakistan says India is diverting water with the construction of barrages and dams, an allegation India denies"

Huh. First I've ever seen of that in the MSM paper.

Seems like a much more important issue than government's self-created and self-generating "terrorism," no?


"Pakistan, India meet in bid to build trust" by Emily Wax, Washington Post | February 26, 2010

NEW DELHI - Nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan met yesterday for their first formal talks since the deadly siege on Mumbai in 2008. Officials described the session as a cautious step in restoring trust between the two nations, which promised only that they would keep in touch, while agreeing that much mutual suspicion remains....

India handed Pakistan three dossiers of information on more than a dozen suspected militants, including those linked to the Mumbai attacks, an Al Qaeda-affiliated suspect who has issued threats against India, and 10 more Indian insurgents believed to be hiding in Pakistan....

The MSM might as well scream false flag.

Turns out Mumbai was carried out by Hindu nationalist
patsies operating from a Mossad safe house carrying out a CIA-inspired plan.

The talks are being held at a pivotal time in the troubled region. The Obama administration has guided both sides to the table, hopeful that even a small thawing in relations could help the American military efforts in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Washington sees the meeting as a start to improving the outlook for stability in Afghanistan, where India and Pakistan are struggling for influence and, some analysts say, hurting regional security.

Of course, OUR INVASIONS and THREATS have done nothing to hurt regional security.

Washington believes that if decades-long tensions between India and Pakistan decrease, lslamabad will not have to worry about its eastern border with India. Instead, it could focus on fighting the Taliban, which are operating in its west, along the border with Afghanistan.

That's the "official" position, anyway.

Pakistan’s foreign minister told reporters that his country “welcomed India’s focus on terrorism’’ during the talks. But he said Pakistan also raised the emotional issue of the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, which has been the cause of two of the nations’ three wars.

Oh, yeah, Kashmir:

"It is now the focal point for seemingly bottomless Kashmiri rage at the continuing presence of the roughly 500,000-strong Indian security force here.... a full-scale occupation..... They remain even though violence.... has fallen to its lowest point in two decades....

rapes by soldiers, extrajudicial killings, and a lack of redress are endemic, not least because security forces are largely shielded from prosecution by laws put in place when Indian troops were battling a once-potent insurgency here."

Oh, I led my post with an afterthought paragraph from the agenda-pushing AmeriKan MSM?

Neither side gave a date for a follow-up meeting....

Ever notice peace talks never go anywhere in the war-promoting AmeriKan newspaper, readers?
