...clarity on terrorism since the Sept. 11 attacks has knocked the foundation out of Pakistan's jihad in Kashmir. New Delhi's commitment to free and fair polls has resurrected faith in self-rule in the valley. And Pakistan's return to Army autocracy has ended any illusions Kashmiri Muslims might have entertained about their alleged benefactor. A Nielsen poll conducted in the middle of the election for the Asian Age, indicated that not even 1% of the valley's Muslims now want to join Pakistan...
...Pakistan and, of course, the President. Just last week the Pakistani government announced it had foiled an assassination plot against Musharraf in April in Karachi that included a defector from Pakistan's paramilitary police force. Then, on Saturday, a group of armed men slaughtered 25 Hindus in a Kashmiri shantytown as they watched a Pakistan-India cricket match on TV. Indian police suspect a Pakistan-based Muslim militia. If so, the provocation would rank with the mass murder that sparked the May face-off. Now more than ever, the world is counting on Musharraf the risk taker--who assures...
...clearly terrorist acts, no less cruel than those of Sept. 11. How can we win the war on terror with leaders like Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, who shows solidarity with the U.S. in its fight against al-Qaeda on Pakistan's western borders and at the same time supports Kashmiri militants on Pakistan's eastern borders, dubbing their acts those of freedom fighters?

...Laden, whose al-Qaeda has aided Kashmiri armed militias, would love India to make the same mistake, for Kashmir to become one more entry in the grim litany of places where Muslims are supposedly oppressed by unbelievers. Then India really will be in trouble (not least with its 130 million strong Muslim minority). To avoid that fate, Delhi needs to do what it has never really done: recognize that Kashmir is a political question that needs a political solution, think hard about what such a solution might be and welcome outside help in finding and implementing it. India is indeed...
More than 1 million troops stand toe-to-toe along the 1,800-mile India-Pakistan border, with both sides saying they will fight, if necessary. It would not take much to light this tinderbox. Experts believe another terrorist attack by Kashmiri separatists could lead India to retaliate against rebel training camps in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. Indian analysts fear that Pakistan almost surely would respond in kind, perhaps diverting Indian forces with strikes along the Pakistan-India border to the south. From there the battle could conceivably escalate to a nuclear conflict, with devastating consequences: a U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency...
