I invite you to read on the Pakistani section of the forum - you will see that everyone from every kind of opinion you can imagine is involved with these issues -- In Pakistan, there are areas which were more or less autonomous and they ere like a reservation for people who resisted integration - they insisted that and still do, that their ways are better for them -- and for a long time this was Ok with the central government because it did not have to spend any money there - After the Soviet invasion and the anti-Soviet jihad, it slowly became an area where the govt lost control because it did not have the will to keep it, another reason was that by not exercising control, the govt could say that it cannot curb the Islamist terrorists because it did not control it's own territory - this is still the line, but the govt is also fighting there, so it's a really crazy situation were both things are true, I know it sounds absurd - but my best understanding is that this is the case - this is the craziness that is Pakistan.
