<< But for that Pakistan will have to give up its claims to Indian occupied Kashmir. >> There is no doubt that America has a much closer relationship and influence with Pakistan, than America has ever had before. There is also no doubt that, with America's support, Musharraf has been able to eliminate some of the more extremist elements of his government. There is also no doubt that India has been one of America's closest allies and friends, and this relationship will continue. I think that Musharraf is going to be in a much better position to ease his stand on Kashmir and negotiate with India. Pakistan was a supporter of the Taliban. They could have denied America air access to Afghanistan, but, for some reason, Musharraf sided with the US. Perhaps Musharraf saw that his only chance for survival, would be the elimination and weakening of the terrorist cells throughout the region. What happens next between India and Pakistan? We can bet that it is going to change. But, how much, is the question.
