[Reader-list] Some Points from discussions

[Jeebesh]

Another Floater :)

For a serious referendum to happen a very wide area has to be  
demilitarized on both side of the present border. There can be a  
popular suffrage to mark the border and hopefully something better  
than the present situation may emerge.

But my floater was not so much about the real-politic of border  
making. It was about thinking a side ways to get out of this  
"bleeding" politics and use all the various available international  
institutions and instruments to arrive at some new arrangements.

warmly
Jeebesh
