...proximate cause of the current tensions was the outrageous Dec. 13 attack on the Indian Parliament complex in New Delhi by suspected Muslim rebels who India claims were tied to Pakistan. India's response to the assault was conditioned by America's reaction to Sept. 11. Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee immediately equated the attack to the Sept. 11 devastation in the U.S., blamed Pakistan for backing terrorists, demanded that Musharraf crack down on them and made plain that the alternative was war. Late last week the two leaders met at a regional conference in Kathmandu and even shook...
When the leaders of two snarling nations are personally committed to better ties, why is that so hard to accomplish? On the surface, a long list of differences separate Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf. One is devoted to Hindu nationalism, the other to a strong Muslim nation. One governs the world's most populous democracy, the other rules by diktat.

...both countries' leaders are talking tough. "We don't want war but war is being thrust upon us," Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee said Wednesday. "And we will have to face it." Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf on Tuesday declared his nation's army "fully prepared and capable of defeating all challenges." And the U.S. now finds its critical ally in the war against terrorism accused of that which it came to Afghanistan to fight - state-sponsored terrorists - and itself in danger of getting caught in the middle of a decades-old conflict fraught with apocalyptic possibilities...
