Your "lessons" are not immutable. As I mentioned earlier, you seem unduly content with the last hegemon's efforts at etch-a-map. Most of the rest of us feel otherwise.
While most can take heart at India's emerging success derived from the Mountbatten/Radcliffe partition, Pakistan's legacy is a review of human misery that refuses to confine itself within it's borders.
As currently configured, your nation is a powder-keg defying solutions while awaiting a single spark at the wrong time and place for all of us.
P5- Proactive Preventive Pakistani Partition Plan. 
I love Ralph Peters' commentary. He's fun, don't you agree?

The response was to Cactus, and you have taken it completely out of context. I am not referring to any of "my lessons".
And are you not content in leaving the "map" of the US the way it is? Which hegemon's map, with all the empires that have existed in that part of the world, should we go back to? I am content with leaving the map the way it is because I see the nonsensical yarn RP is spinning, without any consideration of the communal, Tribal and nationalistic dynamics on the ground.
Unsubstantiated ranting about "a review of human misery" does not prove anything. On almost all socio-economic indicators, and GDP on PPP basis, Pakistan is pretty equivalent to India. The majority of the violent instability in Pakistan leads right into Afghanistan, where the weapons, drugs and refuge for both the Taliban and Baluch militants reside.
"As currently configured" you have given zero reasoning for the arguments you have made. I at least attempted a reasoned critique of RP's "plan", based on my knowledge and experience of the demographics and sentiments of the peoples who inhabit the region. What have you, other than voicing opinions based on a "Western Media stereotype" of the situation in Pakistan?
