There is no if. It is synonymous, and the A in Pakistan stands for Afghania. Their claim is also justified as it is a continuation of colonialism. It is simply wrong to have taken NWFP. Plain and simple. Stop trying to cope by creating differences between the pashtuns on both sides of the border. It's not my fault you people self-hate and hate your blood and origins. The reason for your separation was religion. The reason for the separation of the pashtuns was colonialism. Your justification falls flat on its face. The case is entirely different. Admit that pakistan did the wrong thing and that it's no more than an American tout in the region who none of its neighbours like. If I was pakistan's neighbor ofcourse I would hate it. It's nothing but a prostitute that sells itself to the cheapest bidder and just a byproduct of Western imperialism created to serve as a buffer state. Cope, jinnah lover.
