The Two-State Solution Goes to Afghanistan

I'm not aware of any suggestions for a "Two-State" solution in Afghanistan, but since it works so well everywhere else I'm thinking let's give it a go here.

For those of you who are not familiar with the situation, the Afghan government has nominal control over most of the country. The trouble is in the Southeast of the country where the Pastun people dominate. Pashtuns cover the border region between Afghanistan and Pakistan. They have their own language and customs and they are the most extreme islamist ethnic group in the region. These are the same people who have given refuge to Osama Bin-Laden.

My suggestion is that President Karzai recognise Pashtun claims to their own country, and then immediately declare war on them, conquer them, annex the territory and invite them to either swear fealty to the Government in Kabul or go elsewhere.

Abusrd? Well, yes really it is, but that is the nature of "Two-State" solutions. It is also absurd because Karzai's government lacks the military power to do it. What is more believable to me is that if ever the government in Kabul has the power it will quietly engage in a pogrom against Pashtuns and the bulk of them will flee to Pakistan. This is the normal behaviour of muslim governments.

I really doubt that the government in Kabul will ever be able to control its southeastern border, but if they do then the Pashtuns (and OBL) will become entirely Pakistans problem. (and we know we can trust them to do the right thing, don't we?)
