Xeric is a respected member on the forum; i dont know where this talk of criminal background came into place. But such claims can be rubbished.
and i am aware about US zero tolerance towards terrorism. But it seems that you are adopting an ''enemy of enemy is friend'' approach
i would say that the attack by Jundollah on Iranian revolutionary guards was terrorism too, wouldnt you agree? I hate to promote off-topic discussion, but would you not agree?
it is already evident that a guilty until proven innocent approach is being adopted, terrorism is affecting the way you are running your affairs and abiding by Constitutional enactments......there are even American nationals with bounties on their heads ''dead or alive'' (which is a presumption of guilt)
as for Kashmiri freedom fighters; i don't think a decrease in ''terrorism'' can be attributed to anything the americans are doing. Violence has waned maybe because Kashmiri Muslims feel representation from groups like APHC and the like; perhaps they have some small glimmer of hope that the world will take notice of their plight without the need for violence. Not sure how long that will last, as long as world continues to keep a blind eye to the conflict.
in the end of course, Kashmiris' main ally is themselves; Pakistan Nation would always stand side by side with them, as we hope to see a fair and fitting resolution to the problem --one that fits Kashmiris.
i'm sure if russians were an aspiring stake-holder in Kashmir, you'd take a lot more interest in it
whatever suits you best sir!
