You can't honestly compare the fight over dirt in Kashmir between India and Pakistan with the Cold War's fight over freedom versus communism.
This arguement is used by Islamists all over the world. Isreal and India happen to be the first who are expriencing the reality of this political strategy. Russia is dealing with it in Chechnya, former Yugoslovia tried to deal with it in Bosnia before Clinton bailed the Islamists out.
So, yes it's about "dirt" but at the core it's about ISLAM's quest to dominate the world.
