Will the Government Oblige?By: Swapan Chakravarthy | Thursday , 9 Apr '09 8:25:03 AM Reply | Forward Trust the Americans with their gimmicks and sooner or later you will find led into the garden path where compromise will be the word. This was the same with the 123-Agreement where we have given away a substantial negotiating advantage. And I am sure if we dipped into the Minutes of the Meeting, we are certain to find the overture to intervention in Kashmir all written on the wall. Will the Government oblige?

US not negotiating India, Pak relations: HolbrookeBy: Javed Khan | Wednesday , 8 Apr '09 22:41:23 PM Reply | Forward Good Lad , Holbrooke. It is a good decision not to interfere in our Kashmir.It will be very good if you decide to stop all military aid to Pakistan Aid if any must be only civilian in nature. It will be the best decision that USA hasever made if America decides that the nuclear assets of Pakistan must be destroyed cpmpletly

Holbrookes forced admissionBy: Hero Vaz | Wednesday , 8 Apr '09 22:19:05 PM Reply | Forward Holbrooke has seen that India will not budge. That is why he has no alternative but to say that Indo-Pak relations are not being negotiated.

HolbrookeBy: Gidwani | Wednesday , 8 Apr '09 19:34:55 PM Reply | Forward Don't trust the Americans - they haven't made a wise foreign policy decision since the Marshall Plan after WW2. America's foreign policy tool is not wisdom but but its, now dwindling, military and economic power. They think they can bully all their adversaries into submission. This policy has been clearly known to have failed. India must rely on itself so solve its own problems but we will need better leadership than the cowardly people who are running the government at this time - its time to bring on Modi.

OH, WELL! THEY ALWAYS DO!By: DILIP/FRANCE | Wednesday , 8 Apr '09 19:06:57 PM Reply | Forward THEY ALWAYS KEEP WORKING WITH LOW PROFILE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN USA AND INDIA IS, AFTER DOING, US WILL SAY " IT IS NOT US", WHILE INDIA WOULD SAY "WE DID IT" EVEN WITHOUT DOING IT.

Pushing by USBy: Hero Vaz | Wednesday , 8 Apr '09 18:52:22 PM Reply | Forward Holbrooke and the US should know, by now, that the days of pushing India are well over. The US is unable to push even Pakistan, who do not hesitate to openly snub the US. The US keeping India informed is a new development, completely out of character. It seems the US has learned how to come down, when necessary. Holbrooke's experiences in dealing with Pak should also teach the US that they have to act, strongly, on their own in putting down Pak threats to them and Paki world terrorism. If there was reason to invade Iraq, there is greater reason for invading Pak. If Pak is invaded, the US can depend on India for support. Pak's nuclear weapons can be knocked out in one swift joint action by the US, India and Israel. Israel will readily join in the operation as they see the Islamic bomb as coming from Pak.
