Now, why are you attacking me? I made a simple observation. It would seem to me that you would rejoice at the changes Mushariff is trying to make. Instead of encouraging him, you are condemning him as though he's still backing terrorists. He has a huge job ahead of him and you should be hoping that he can accomplish it.

As to the US backing Pakistan over India, it won't happen. India is a democracy and our natural ally as a result. We are trying to bring peace to the region by working with Musharrif and making it financially worth his while to make the changes. The result will be a better neighbor for India, and a safer neighborhood.

To some extent you are correct. But when you are trying to patch things up between two nations, it is probably not a good idea to make statements like "Pakistan will never let Kashmir go" every fifteen minutes when making your speeches to American dignitaries, leaders, and the media.

Indians have heard this before, and usually means that as soon as Pakistan is strong enough, it will again resume its patterns of of terror and proxy wars against india.

You must try and understand this.

But in any event, I sincerely hope that you are correct in your analysis.
