It is called Foreign Policy. JPR New Delhi's ceasefire diplomacy. The Chief Executive's statement to 'meet India halfway' for settling the Kashmir dispute has been distorted in India as an attempt to seek legitimacy. This self-serving absurdity is the brainchild of some sick mind. Pervez Musharraf heads a non-elected but a legal government in Pakistan.Hello Pakistan, Don't try to break the Laws of Nature. Your role is that of a satellite. U are too small to act big -- JPR. A large country with a small heart, India works with two sets of principles - one for itself and the second for others.India, USA, Saudi Arabia and Iran are coming to a hub of common interest. Pakistan, you missed the boat. Learn to live with new reality.--JPR Iran's strategic handshake. But what must have rattled Islamabad most was the statement of Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharazi that Pakistan must work with Iran and India to resolve the Afghanistan imbroglio. Going even a step further, Iran and India castigated those nations which "aid, abet and directly support" international terrorism a veiled reference to the Taliban and Pakistan. Can the convergence of their regional interests sustain, in the long run, their strategic links in the absence of a shared world view? A reconciliation between the United States and Iran may not be on the cards in the immediate future but it cannot be ruled out either. As a matter of fact, there are some indications that a positive movement in that direction may have already begun. The signing of a mutual security pact between Iran and Saudi Arabia too has far-reaching implications for the whole region.
