comon guys chill out!... cant we all get along? we have other important matters to worry about (IRAN)
NEW YORK — Pakistan on Tuesday urged the United States to pressure India over Kashmir, saying recent unrest showed that New Delhi and not Islamabad was to blame for trouble in the Himalayan territory.
On a visit to New York for a UN session on Pakistan's devastating floods, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi insisted his government wanted peace with India but tore into its rule of Kashmir which he called "oppression."
"The occupation cannot continue. The rights of the Kashmiri people cannot continue to be denied," Qureshi said at the Council on Foreign Relations, a think-tank.
"We call upon the United States particularly, which is pressing so responsibly for peace in the Middle East, to also invest its political capital in trying to help seek an accommodation on Kashmir," he said.
"Such an accommodation would not only be just for the people of Kashmir but would be critical for peace in the region," he said, warning that "terrorism... has fueled and thrived on blatant examples of social and political injustice."
President Barack Obama's administration is seeking a broader relationship with India but also friendlier ties with Pakistan, a key battleground in the fight against Islamic extremism.
India considers Kashmir a domestic issue and rejects any foreign involvement. The Obama administration has steered clear of Kashmir after early statements triggered a backlash in India.
Kashmir, a Himalayan territory with a Muslim majority but a sizeable Hindu minority, has been disputed between India and Pakistan since independence and triggered two full-fledged wars between them.
An insurgency erupted on the Indian side in 1989 but had subsided in recent years. Indian authorities, along with some outside experts, say that Pakistan actively supported Islamic guerrillas who sneaked across the frontier.
But in recent weeks, waves of protesters have turned to the streets to rally against Indian rule in Kashmir. Security forces have shot dead more than 100 demonstrators.
"At times it's easy for the Indians to look toward Pakistan and blame Pakistan for everything that's going wrong in Indian-occupied Kashmir," Qureshi said.
But he said "no one any longer can seriously believe this."
"Can Pakistan orchestrate thousands of people? Can Pakistan plan, sitting in Islamabad, a shutdown all over Kashmir?" he said
The first sentence pretty much sums your post up. We can say the same about you.
US will not interfere in Kashmir, as Kashmir is clearly become and issue of religious fanatism. No one will like to encourage fanatics, while stone pelting was going in favor of Kashmir, excessive stone pelting is going against. Since people than see them as violent people. We should also try to make world believe that people of Kashmir should be controlled otherwise it will
become SWAT. That's all and no one will care what happens there, if some people because of their violent behavior cannot adjust then so be it.

Why is Sarkozy laughing in the background?
The green flags being waved at every rally, driving out pundits form the valley and targeting minorities speaks otherwise.Please don't lie. The Kashmir issue has been alive since 1947 and has nothing to do with fanaticism.
Differing principles. A nation born on the basis of religion vs a nation carved remaining secular.It is about people having the right to self-determination and about following the principles by which the partition of India was carried out.
Is this child a fanatic?

The best solution for Kashmir valley, after doing some research, is a HK or Macau SAR type solution. Complete autonomy with nominal Indian control. Then trade and commerce can be highly encouraged and people can get on with it. This is the way it is going, looks like it.
