@saeed: The current problems all have to do with 10 years of mismanagement under the dictatorship of Musharraf. He sold the country for nothing because he had no insight into foreign policy and now Pakistan is paying the price. Afghanistan has always been a puppet state of India but now they seem to be even more brazen than before. On the one hand they send refugees to live in peace in Pakistan but at the same time they want to shell the country that gives them security. Pakistan should seal the border with Afghanistan by building a big fence with mines.
