@Spock

But what about before the soviet invasion? They were always pro-India, remember Radio Kabul broadcasitng a special segment about the independence of the people of NWFP from Pakistan on India's insistance?

I think you're talking about the governments here Spock. Some Pashtun governments of Afghanistan have been nationalist like the Daoud Khan, pre soviet Afghan government. But Zahir Shah who ruled before them for a long time wasn't the same AFAIK. But let's distinguish here now between the PEOPLE and the GOVERNMENT, especially one that usurped power without the people's consent, like Daoud Khan. There should also be a distinguishment between real Pashtun Afghans really living in Afghanistan, and those claiming to be Pashtun on the internet, living in the West. The ones living in Afghanistan do generally have a favourable opinion of Pakistan.
