#1 Omnia...divienda, Fred, albeit I bet that you used the medieval latin variant. ;-)

#3 The Solomonic Solution. Pity there isn't anyone on the Indian Side to say, I love Kashmir too much to let it be divided, so let Pakistan have the whole thing.

#4 Demilitarizing the border sure would make it easier for ~~Pakistanis~~ ~~terrorists~~ militants to cross and blow up women and children. How about Pakistan withdrawing from the parts of Kashmir they invaded.

#7 What, and Pakistan gets all the parts?

Does "hudna" translate into Urdu (or whatever he speaks)?

#8 That reminds that story of a soviet Marshall (Rokossovsky?) who interrogated a German POW:

-What do you think will happen to Germany after the war?
-It will be cut in many small parts.
-Cut in small parts! But not for Germany, for Germans.

#9 Mojo, yea, but... that is perfect passive conjugation (description of what is in place [what is done over with]) while Fred is talking what is about to take place (gerund future passive participle [what will inevitably happen]).

Gallia is, as whole, divided into three parts.

Whole Kashmir(ia) will be divided into 7 parts.
(the second has the same gramatical quality as in "Carthago delenda est")

#10 What about the part the Chinese still occupied. Can we count that as the eight part?
