They are divided up among Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan. For that you can thank a BRit named Durand who drew borders between India and Afghanistan and Iran which divided both the Pashtuns and the Balochi. <br /><br />They have certain natural resources in Pakistani Balochistan but argue that they get very little benefit from them. The Pakistani government is supposed to be industrializing the area but again, benefits go to everyone but the Balochis. Hence their feeling that maybe they could do it better themselves.<br /><br />Part of Somalia is doing pretty good. Somaliland. Of course no country will recognize it as an independent state for what ever reason.The Blog Fodderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441978691701289074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171776489221716830.post-19362147089519234652012-01-09T03:19:19.553-08:002012-01-09T03:19:19.553-08:00Help me help you help me help you.Help me help you help me help you.Randal Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728992897551848531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171776489221716830.post-24994442266726667392012-01-09T00:26:33.991-08:002012-01-09T00:26:33.991-08:00The U.S. should stay out of the kind of disputes a...The U.S. should stay out of the kind of disputes and problems you mention. We've got plenty of problems to deal with here at home. We're at a virtual standstill on many of the problems and have our national shoelaces tied together in our limited efforts to deal with a bunch of others.S.W.

If there's never any cheese in that tunnel again, the rats will eventually get the message and stop going into the tunnel to look for cheese.<br /><br />People, on the other hand, once they've found cheese in a tunnel, they'll keep going back and back forever to that same tunnel to keep looking for more cheese, even if there's never any cheese in the tunnel again after that one time.<br /><br />Anyway, I read that parable a long time ago and your post reminded me of it.Tom Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05610417770240609022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171776489221716830.post-89559600655862828282012-01-08T15:50:22.904-08:002012-01-08T15:50:22.904-08:00I personally don't give a shit if a bunch of p...I personally don't give a shit if a bunch of people kill each other, it helps keep our numbers down. <br /><br />I put up tomorrows post about half an hour ago, it runs along the same lines as yours, maybe I'll link your post to it in the morning.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.com
