NMD stays one step ahead of the rogues --JPR Indian response to Bush's stand on NMD is the most appropriate one. It is a natural evolution of weapons systems. There are no two ways about it. Let me mention the following without going into too many details. If any body is familiar with immunology and bacteriology, one would know that there is an antibody for every antigen. Body makes an anti-antibody to an antibody in an ever-increasing reactive way to the point, when and until the body perceives that enough is enough. There are normal checks and balances built into the system so that the organism is kept healthy against inimical forces and factors. But things can go wrong. NMD system is on the same lines. Nature is meant to deal with inimical forces however it is possible. NMD is no different. -JPR dawn.com Bush feels the heat The protesters might have represented the more militant segment of this opposition, but even some of the most responsible European leaders have displayed a sense of considerable disquiet about the direction in which the US is moving on a whole range of issues from the NMD plan to

Who is calling who a stooge, you a Chinese marionette? Seriously, Pakistan's internal fissures along ethnic, military-civilian, economic, elite-pedestrian / egalitarian, and geographic fault lines are the stuff of national disintegration. Add to that recipe for self-destruction, religious fanaticism. It is not India, it is not Washington, it is not Israel - the axis - that will ring the death knell for Pakistan. When the money runs out, credit worthiness becomes abysmal, the treasury is looted and empty, the military goes unpaid, and the fundamentalists run rampant -as if they aren't doing it now, balkanization will become a reality. The resulting nation-states will be named: Balkanistan, Punkistan, Talbanistan, etc The Indians had encounters with many Raksasas - demons - before. Vajpayee is very knowledgeable in the ways of Raksasas. The Indians will feed the General a lot of beans which will bloat his ego, will make him look larger than life and give him a dreamy chance for a Nobel Peace Prize. I bet the General thought of being a candidate for a Nobel peace / piece Prize. -JPR dawn.com Preparing for the coming summit By Mohammad Waseem Secondly, they are propagating vigilance against a possible sell-out to India. This reflects an inherent mistrust of the state as the 'other' which is supposed to be run by western stooges amenable to pressure from Washington. The leadership factor would be crucial in the forthcoming summit. Gen. Musharraf was demonized by the Indian media for nearly two years.

Compartmentalize the issues between India and Pakistan. Vajpayee will be cool, but the General should keep his reflexive jerks under control.--JPR If Vajpayee and the General want to show this world that this meeting is not for a feast on Chicken Tikka masala, they should compartmentalize each issue with no spillover to Kashmir, the latter stays as a separate issue by itself on its own merit. Can they wangle it? I know Vajpayee can do it. What about the General? If the General can keep his reflexive twitches under control, he could do it. This will help project the image that the General is a genius and not a muddleheaded nincompoop.

The Prime Minister and the President - Beauty and the Bloat A Dud of State visits India --JPR The general let the baton slip at the drop of a hat. Now that the general retired the baton, the uniform, and the hat and donned himself in sherwani, he is ready to meet Vajpayee, man to man, in civilian garb. Now he has the respectability of a civilian leader and can have a tete-a-tete with the the PM. I assume that he is too embarrassed to review the honor guard in India in a general's uniform, and see the Indian Generals, who lost men in Kargil, look at him in contempt, and derision and exchange snickers - candy included - among themselves. A civilian wear may soften the attitude of a receiving nation. How is this bloke going to stand the 110 degree oppressive heat in New Delhi with his pachydermal sherwani? May be he has a concealed A/C stitched in the liner of sherwani. If this bloke ever thinks of nuking India, the first ones to fall are the muslim monuments in and around Delhi and Agra. The venue of the meeting in Agra is just a reminder to the general that nuking India is no lesser evil than nuking 140 million muslims in India, which is equal to the whole population of Pakistan. The general is a jack of all trades - read "a jackass of all trades". General, COLA, Chief Executive, President are impressive credentials for a visiting head of state - read "dud of state".

The poet and the President - Carrot and stick approach, carrot dangling on the front and the stick in the back, spring-loaded and poised to strike the rump any time. The poet speaks softly and carries a big stick. The four-faced President Musharraf - President, General, COAS, Chief - is confused. Reason, the goose-stepping punch-drunk President has been thumping his feet, and shaking his brains too long and too many times to understand. The President thinks at glacial speeds and Siachem glaciers move faster --JPR Excerpt from a Newspaper: Meanwhile, Musharraf today said reading the Indian Prime Minister's poetry had confused him whether A.B. Vajpayee ''stood for peace or war'' and that he would find out the ''truth'' during the summit. ''We do not know who the real Vajpayee is, his poems represent two faces - one soft and another harsh,'' the Pakistan President said. Vajpayee-Musharraf meeting may cool down Siachen heat Whether the Vajpayee-Musharraf summit helps scale down the differences over Kashmir or not, the jawan at the border may breathe easy.

Let us celebrate the success of Musharraf's visit whose express purpose was to eat Indian-Mughalai cuisine by the fabulous chefs flown to the locale. Thanks, his visit prompted another scrubbing given to the Taj Mahal. Too bad he lost $200 to the old woman who was his Ayaa, when he was a boy in New Delhi. Cross Border Terrorism is beyond the control of the 5-hatted general. Centrality of Kashmir issue is antithetical to the secular stance of the Indian constitution. let us wait another 50 years for the next Chicken-Tikka-masala conference. Sorry fellows, the prez has to go back to islamabad to make sure that no one is out there plotting to oust him.
