Re: Is Pakistan a "Failing State" or a "Failed State"?
You are extremely mis-informed.
NWFP had a referundum and they chose to join.
Balochistan assembly voted for joining Pakistan.
If I'm not mistaken, the Khan of Kallat declared that Balochistan would remain independent, but the British nixed that idea because the state would be too vulnerable. And one of the Pakistani army's first excursions was to Balochistan in 1948 to force the Khan to step down and the Baloch to sign the accesion agreement to officially become part of Pakistan. With NWFP, wasn't there an issue with the Durrand line shortly after the referendum, and that is when the Pakhtunistan movement really began in earnest?
