Actually, I was trying to present a hypothetical case and see what your response would be. It isn't a case of not understanding the depth of the problem. I have had it presented to me in depth by another friend here on SI who is from India. I don't doubt your assessment of Musharraf nor of a large part of the Pakistani people. But I also suspect that India would not trust any olive branch that Musharraff extended, even if it was sincere. At this point, from what I have seen, India is not willing to have a peaceful end to this situation. And I am not saying that is a bad thing either. My whole point can be summed up by changing the scenario around. If India had asked the U.S. to hold off on retaliations against OBL for the WTC attacks, I would expect the U.S. gov't to flip India the bird. If they didn't, I would be pissed at my government for not looking out for the U.S. interests first, not at India for asking.
