This is a war about the oil from the Caspian, the US estimating as much as 270 billion barrels of it, and transporting it the quickest and cheapest route through Afghanistan. The giant US oil company Unocal has been looking at this since 1996.

Speech by Rubina Shaikh, PhD., Vice Chairperson, World Sindhi Congress at Seminar on "Positioning Pakistan in the 'War Against Terrorism"
All forms of the terrorism should be met with appropriate resistance. However, as an activist and advocate of peace, I believe that we must analyze the historical contexts and policies that have brought us to this war.

Speech by Sardar Attaullah Mengal at Seminar on Positioning Pakistan in “War Against Terrorism”
It is not enough to condemn the 11th September incident and mourn the dead in Afghanistan. I think we owe more then that, to fellow human beings. We must try to find the root cause of such mishaps and try to undo them for future safety.

Speech by Mr. Anwar MQM at Seminar on Positioning Pakistan in “War Against Terrorism”
Before the tragic terrorists attacks on the Twin Towers in New York and Washington on 11th. September 2001, the "Positioning" of Pakistan was crystal clear. I am quoting two excerpts from the statements of the President of Pakistan General Parvez Musharraf; the first one was made on 5th. February 2000 that stated: "Jihad is not terrorism, Mujahideen organizations are not terrorist organizations. Jihad had been revived during Afghan war and now it is Jihad in Kashmir. Muslims from different parts of the world are coming together to support their oppressed brothers and sisters".

Speech by Balach Marri at Seminar on Positioning Pakistan in “War Against Terrorism”
The war in Afghanistan has directly effected Balochistan and Sindh in many ways and its effects are going to surface in years to come. For last 52 years all the Nations in Pakistan “Terrorist State” have been oppressed and deprived of their basic rights by one Nation known as Punjab. Pakistan is a country, not a Nation and it should not be treated as a Nation. It should be treated as a country of many Nations and Nationalities, every Nation in Pakistan should have equal rights and representation.
