How can the Westerners in Afghanistan
Show their Love for Liberty?

The Western powers are currently seen to be engage in liberalizing the
Muslim societies and bringing the Muslim world in line with the rest of
the civilized world. This process is being welcomed by all open minded and
level headed national leaders through out the Muslim world. Only a
fraction of the Muslim scholars are opposing it. As part of the process we
are witnessing redrawing of the boundaries of certain illegitimate
countries like Serbia, Iraq, Indonesia and some of the African countries.
Along with many nations Azeris, Kurds, Baloch and Sindhis are also without
a country, therefore, freeing these nations’ land from forceful occupation
need to be made an essential component of the process. To show sincerity
and sympathy in this regard we are finding western media and human rights
organizations actively advocating the liberation movements of the said
nations. This encouragement has contributed in intensification of
political activities of Azeris, Kurds, Baloch and Sindhis in Iran and
Pakistan.
After the overthrow of Saddam, Kurds in Iraq are enjoying their autonomy
which they gain with the help of the western forces. The entrance of the
same forces in Afghanistan have succeeded in the removal of fundamentalist
ruler of Taliban and Al-Qaeda, and replacing it with a liberal and
partially democratic force from within Afghanistan.
These western forces in Afghanistan need to follow the same example that
of Iraq and announce autonomy of Baloch areas in Afghanistan to show that
they are serious on the issue of oppression and suppression of the
nations.
An autonomous Balochistan in Afghanistan can play the same role for Baloch
areas under Iran and Pakistan’s control which the autonomous Kurdistan in
Iraq is playing for the oppressed Iranian, Syrian and Turkey’s occupied
Kurdish land. Even if Afghan controlled Balochistan once freed was unable
to contribute anything towards other occupied Baloch lands she can by
herself enjoy the autonomy and become a good example of the civilized
Afghanistan; also the suffering nations of the world will find further
sign of sincerity and love of the West for liberty around the world, not
only for the Westerners!
