Re: Arundhati Roy - brick thru windscreen. I think that comment is to caution India(not Pakistan) against inviting the US armed forces in. ie India had offered bases and support on day 1 or 2. Arundhati Roy is a woman who shot to fame with her book ' god of small things'. Later on she has morphed into a leftist know all, among other things supporting the rights of local people against big dams and so on. She has a right to spout her stuff to her audience. She has zero effect on Indian foreign policy. You are taking two random events to draw a conclusion to suit your ends. Indian firing on the border- could be a staged event by the 'coalition' to turn the herd in a different direction, ie from marching towards Jacobabad to their favorite external enemy - India. The powers in India also probably think that Musharraf is the best for Pakistan under the current circumstances and may be trying to help him. With Powell, over there needing a 'victory', he can put out this fire and claim that all is well with India and Pakistan for now.
