6/7 I don't get this India/Paki thing. What's so special about Kashmir?
Are they fighting for oil? minerals? Surely they're not fighting
for stupid fir are they?
\_ one of the legacy Britsh Empire left behind. This, along with
Isreal/Palastine, Kuwait/Iraq, Hong Kong/China mainland, as
part of White Man's burden to Civilize world. American is
trying to out-do Britian by muddling with North/South Korea,
North/South Vietnam, and China mainland and Taiwan island.
\_ isreal/palastine? legacy of the british empire? you're
an idiot. read the fucking bible.
\_ uhm what about it? Where's the part in there about suicide
bombers? I recall God saying suicide was a sin.
\_ White Man's Burden? All "White Men" are not responsible for what
the British aristocracy did over the last several centuries.
\_ they're fighting for religious reasons mostly but im no expert.
or maybe you could say it's political with religious underpinnings.
\_ They're fighting over sweaters.
\_ Is this Kashmir really the same "kashmir" as the variant of
"cashmere"? Or is it coincidence?
\_ It's where the animals with the wool used for cashmere
sweaters are from.

\_ Yep. Clearly stated with no bias at all. Sure-thing.
\_ "I saw it on the net! It must be true! It's like Peter
Jennings! Yeah!"
\_ They're both huge Zeppelin fans.
\_ DUDE!
\_ Kashmir is a very rich and beautiful piece of land.
\_ i guess if you like living at 5,000 feet on a bunch
of rocks.
\_ Not down in the valley. It's beautiful.

\_ No one is going to nuke anyone over a "beautiful valley".
\_ http://www.kashmirtimes.com/latest.htm
\_ Nice to find such a clearly un-biased source of information.
Does anybody have a source OTHER than <DEAD>kashmir.com<DEAD> and
http://kashmirtimes.com? Perhaps a BBC fact file or something from
the Economist?
\_ Yeah, because the BBC is so unbiased
\_ I did say "perhaps". Can I get you to volunteer a source
my sardonic and as yet not very helpful friend?
\_ I get all my facts from the BBC. My mind is now clear
of all bias. Truth is a beautiful thing. I now have
A Beautiful Mind.
\_ how come nobody mentions the section of Kashmir that is controlled
by the Chinese?
\_ It is in the Himalayas and is worthless and has no inhabitants.
\_ And it's controlled by the Chinese who neither India nor
Pakistan is capable of going to war against because they'd just
get crushed and make an excuse for the Chinese to move south. |

| www.cashmere.com/html/101/101.html For hundreds of years only royalty could afford to indulge in the pleasures of cashmere. It ranked with gems as among the most precious gifts of nature. Napoleon started a fad for cashmere shawls when he gave his second wife, Empress Eugenie, seventeen of them. And, Beau Brummell stirred envy when he sported his white cashmere waistcoat early in the 19th century. Today, cashmere is still unrivaled as the world's most luxurious fiber. The unequaled quality of Chinese-made garments brings value to the sweater you will enjoy for many years. Cashmere is the down shed annually by goats living in the high, dry plateaus that stretch from northern China into Mongolia, surrounding the Gobi Desert. In order for these goats to survive they have coarse outer hair that repels the weather. Beneath that external coat lies a much finer fiber, cashmere, which insulates these animals from the bitter cold. It takes each of these rare goats four years to produce enough cashmere for one sweater. In order to collect the cashmere, each goat is combed by hand every spring. In addition, the sweaters are usually knit on hand-operated machines. Converting cashmere into our luxurious garments is achieved only with extraordinary time and skill. |

| www.ikashmir.org/Nature -> www.ikashmir.org/Nature/ Three Himalayan ranges - Karakoram, Zanskar and Pir Panjal - snow-capped, majestic, frame the landscape from northwest to northeast. They are the birthplace of great rivers which flow down into the valleys below, forested with wild orchards and lily laden lakes. Kashmir has captured within its territories the quintessence of all the elements that poetry demands of nature. The Mughals, who celebrated beauty, planted their symmetrical gardens and added a further dimension to the valleys of Kashmir. They also left behind a heritage of exquisite artisanship among the people, making the handicrafts of the land prized gifts the world over.
