#3 Am I the only one who thinks that given that the Durand treaty is now expired it is real time that Afgahanistan recovers the territories conceded to the British and who are now part of Pakistan?

Just like that 40km band of Saudi Arabia who was occuppied by the Seud in the 20s and whose inhabitants were ver second classs citizens?

#4 I think you mean "high time" or "about time" instead of "real time", JFM. I also think we don't currently have the national will and/or wherewithal to deal with Pakistan as it needs to be dealt without glassing over the entire country. Now, if the Afghans themselves wanted to take on the project it might be fun to watch.

#5 He said he was a student at a religious school in Pakistan and was encouraged to fight in Afghanistan by a fellow student who managed to escape arrest.

Oh, c'mon, Ali! It'll be fun!
Whoops...see ya.

#6 At this point the Afghans can't yet control all of the territory Pakistan does not claim. When they do and are capable of managing a border war, then it will be time for them to discuss renegotiating the Durand treaty. If given a choice at that point, I wonder which way the border tribes would choose?
