No doubts Pakhtoons have been used as canon fodder by the Punjabi army and civil bureaucracy of Pakistan. Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan was right in opposing the merger of NWFP with Pakistan and staying on with the Indian Union. The Pathan's simple nature was exploited by the wily and mean Punjabi throughout he history of Pakistan. The Punjabi army first enticed the Pathan to fight against the Russians in Afghanistan as Mujahideen. Then it created created the Taliban for its narrow ends. Now that the Talibs are at the doorsteps of Punjab, the Punjabi army has invaded NWFP, again the Pakhtoons are the sufferers, either they are being killed for being Taliban or they are being driven into refugee camps as helpless civilians.
There is only one way the Pakhtoons can lead a respectable life as a people that is by seceding from Pakistan and reuniting with Afghanistan.

Nobody should drown any further nor drowning others would be the right answer. You are right about Pakhtun blood spilled over the last 30 years of a conflict that started in 1979. Undeclared genocide of the Pakhtuns in which some of the Pakhtuns were inducted to fight has destroyed almost all NWFP, FATA and Afghanistan. Those who are educated should investigate, analyse and plan for a future instead of continuing this indefinite war. MQM was raised into power and authority by the ISI/military and they have brutally suppressed all voices of reason and dissent from Karachi. A fight is not always the right answer.
