burqaposh, you seem to be engaged in a futile excercise of self-deception. Major think-tanks and gvernments around the world have lately realized that the major problem in South Asia is that of the Punjab and its disproportionate influence in Pakistan via the military bureaucracy and intelligence establishment…that is why the unequivocal support for the Sindhi Zardari.
No other ethnicity in Pakistan is so obcessed with liberating Kashmir from India by force of Islamic jehad or expanding the the influence of Pakistan into Central Asia or the status of Pakistan as Muslim nuclear power as Punjab. The main arcgitect of Islamic Jehad also have been individuals for Punjab e.g. General Ziaul Haq, Gen Akhthar Abdur Rahman, General Hamid Gul, General Javed Nasir, General Asad Durrani, Bigidier Imam, Major General Zaheerul Islam Abbasi, General Mahmoud Ahmad, General Aziz Khan, Khalid Khwaja, etc. although non-Punjabis like Mirza Aslam Baig, Naseerullah Babar, etc. are also involved.
Moreover, major sectarian or militant organizations in Pakistan have origin in Punjab e,g. Lashkar-i-Jhanngvi (LeJ), Lashkaro-i-Toiba (LeT), Jaish-i-Mohammad (JeM), Sipah-i-Sahaba, Sipah-i-Mohammad, Hizbul Mujahideen, Hizbul Tahreer, Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, etc. Muridkai is the base of Lashkar-i-Toiba as South Punjab is the base of JeM. Punjabi fighters have fought as far off as in Iraq and Bosian (Umar Shiekh the jehadi who murdered Daniel Pearl is an example). Most of the persons caught for the acts of terrorism in the West were either of Punjabi or Kashmiri origin.
This is not to deny that there is no problem in Pashtun areas. But most of the analysts of our regions now contend that what is happening in Pashtun areas is just a manifestation of what is the root cause i.e. the power aspirations/ambitions of the military and intelligence establishment of Pakistan mostly coming from Punjab and its allies i.e. the newly emerged middle classes, miltant groups, and religious factions and parties of Pakistan.
This doesn’t mean common Punjabis have to do somethig with it…Common Punjabis are very nice people…I have all regard for them…
