<b>Kashmir problem</b>

<b>CONGRATULATIONS to Mr Nasir Siddique for writing about the ‘Kashmir problem’ (letter, June 6).

I agree with him, why should Pakistan commit suicide if Iran and Iraq want to.</b> Why can’t we be wise like the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. They are also Muslim countries like us. Turkey is a member of Nato and also will be part of the EU shortly.

Why should Pakistan be the sacrificial lamb, whether it is Afghanistan or Kashmir? Today Karzai is abusing us, <b>tomorrow some leader in Kashmir will curse us.</b> What did we get from Afghanistan? Only refugees and AK-47, which turned our beautiful country into the Wild West. Perhaps, something similar is in store from Kashmir in future.

We should be worried about our children, our infrastructure, our roads, our drinking water problems and not waste resources on these insolvable issues.
