Do u think by  the correct spelling would have lended it any more credibility than ur, correctly spelled contribution.

It might in the future, but it wont be anytime soon.  Not with Mushy in power thats for sure.

Urdu is derived from Indo-Aryan languages like Hindustani/Hindi, not Farsi which is not Indo-Aryan but Western Iranian.

That is only part true.  Pakistan differentiates everything else.  It seperates Pukhtuns and calls them Pathans, calls their land "NWFP" instead of historic names while "Punjab" exists, "Baluchistan" exists, and Sindh exists.    I would be happy if Pakistan did not differentiate, but for it to do that, it would have to grant Pukhtuns the right to name their province after them, as they are the majority, and remove the Durand line, which is a false line created to 'differentiate.'

Exactly.

No need to be facetious.  Pakistan could not stop a flow of refugees if it tried.  Because there was no border, there is no way they could have stopped them.  While 1,000,000 Afghans were martyred for their country, Pakistan was playing its games and finding out which Pro-Pakistan warlord they could install as a leader in Afghanistan.  When each of their warlords, like Hekmatyar, even Rabbani (a Tajik) said they do not recognize the Durand Line, they went for the Taliban, who, unfortunately for Pakistan,  also wanted the permanent dismantling of the Durand. 

There is a huge difference between ShahRukh Khan and Nek Muhammad, I'll let you figure that one out yourself.

Pukhtun and Afghan are the same people described historically , through Pakhto poetry and Afghan History.  Only nationally has this changed during the creation of "Afghan" meaning a citizen of Afghanistan, but the historic, ethnic, and anthropologic meaning still refer to the same people.  Ofcourse only a Pakistani would find ways of seperating them into different people.  How convenient that a Pathan (100% of whom cant speak Pashto or even Dari) would be considered Pukhtun by a Pakistani, but an Afghan who speaks Pashto is not a Pashtun.  What a silly logic that is.    

Its someone you want to pretend never existed.  He waged war against Musharraf and his Pakistani establishment, he was a Mujahideen also who fought against the Soviets when he was a teen, and joined the Taliban and was a commander.  He was a respected person in Waziristan.

Hazaras are an ethnic group in Afghanistan, and they also reside in Pakistan (remains of Afghan Hazaras who were kicked out by the Emir of Afghanistan for supporting the British and live in their godchild Pakistan).  There are also communities in Iran.

  Oh God.

Oh so now its a transliteration?  Before you said there is no difference between Kaaf and Qaaf and now you say dont blame me, I just transliterated it?  You have chosen an Arabic name for yourself and you dont even know the difference between Qaaf and Kaaf.  Shame on you.   

Actually the Acronym JOKE existed before I was even born, it was by the forebearers of Pakistan today, and the silly thing was there was no letter for Bangladesh, which made it even more funnier. 

Many people who speak Urdu mispronounce it too, dont blame this as "Lost in translation" excuse.  

There also cheap in India. 

What?  

Removing the Durand Line would be fine. Afghanistan can become a part of Pakistan, that's not a problem, so long as all sides agree.

So who would have fought the Soviets?

It could easily. By not opening up refugee camps or not giving them land in Pakistan to live on.

Pakistan were actually supporting the anti Soviet forces with the Americans.

Pakistan would probably have favoured warlords who wanted the dismantling of the Durand Line and the incorporation of Afghanistan into Pakistan. Currently, Pakistan is letting the Americans stabilize Afghanistan, though they need a bigger army, so that led to the proposal to fence it.

Why not?

Yeah, as a military force it could bring stability and even development though. They could just remain semi autonomous anyway. It would need some money, but eventually things would be headed in the right direction.

Because it simplifies things for an open border policy. it reduces interest groups therefore limits possible sources for conflict and avenues for foreign meddling.

U have listed a number of hypothetical reasons y it could works. But if u analyze recent history of Afghanistan u will find that the option of use of military force as a tool to bring stability has already been exhausted.

The basic cost of rebuilding infrastructure in Afghanistan is estimated at $20bn. It will be a very long drawn process to bring it up to the level of the rest of the country. East & West Germany still haven't managed full integration and economic homogenization in unified Germany.

In the model u present i think there r just too many if's.
