Re: Should NWFP government request UN for protection?
I don't know what you're smoking, but last time I checked the majority of suicide bombers were also pashtuns & were blowing up everything and anyone who disagreed with them all across the country. They're attacking NWFP because thats easiest for them to attack, and its harder for suicidal terrorists to travel to other parts of the country to carried out terrorist attacks.
As for the UN, NWFP is part of Pakistan, and NWFP govt has no power to request any foreign entity for help. That would be consider treasonous, and province would treated as rebellious territory, and as such would bring wrath for the federal govt.
