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.

Of course not. I didn't draw the cartoon. But I can see how others in the world may see some reality to it. The other countries in the world did stand by for many years wondering if the US or Russia would drop a nuke on each other. I think that is what the cartoonist was trying to say.

Can't honsetly say it's a fight over dirt. India's positon is (from my prespective) that all citizens of India have to resolve their differences under the laws of the Indian Constitution. Pakistan's position, or Islamist position is that a majority enclave of muslims constitutes a seperate entity that must have the right to decide if they want to be a part of India.

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.
