First off, I'd like to have a few words on conspiracies. Conspiracies do exist but here's another closely related fact: conspiracies, just like the concept of terrorism, are relative. Conspiracy against one nation is struggle for supremacy of another nation. Now there is no denying to the fact that a powerful country would indulge in all sorts of conspiracies to maintain its supremacy. In some cases, the subjugated people then resort to their own freedom which is often termed as terrorism.
I think no one can deny the fact that the CIA has wreaked havoc in many countries through "conspiracies" (although a different word should be used; mention to this word generally takes away the good sense). We have ample examples of this.
Interests clash and thus conspiracies exist and that is perfectly natural. But it is solely the responsibility of the affected to deal with the conspiracies and make them ineffective. This can be very effectively done on diplomatic front by bringing forth the evidence and so forth. Is Pakistan so impotent that it can't even bring forth the evidence of these foreign interventions and demand justice, even though the evidence supposedly exists? The concept of a nation counting and existing on the benevolence of others is quite incomprehensible.
Now to Baluchistan. Are there any indicators of foreign support to the insurgent movement? Yes. What is Pakistan doing about it (other than killing activists and dumping them in mass graves)? Nothing. Should we accept anything good out of all this? There is no reason for that. If we want the insurgency fail and Baluchistan back in the fold of nation, we will have to act in a sensible way, which we are not. We are pretty much repeating what we did in Bangladesh, only Baluchistan is unfortunate of having a meager population and thus unable to retaliate like Bangladesh. It's funny we cry about the injustices in Bangladesh and that we should not repeat them and yet look how many people were out to support Mama Qadeer in Lahore.
