Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger urged India and Pakistan on Thursday to sort out their differences at the negotiating table, saying a war between the nuclear-armed foes would serve no purpose.

"Even after a victory, it would just add another element of grievance to an already tense situation," said Kissinger, who won the Nobel peace prize in 1973 for his role in talks to end the Vietnam War.

"The most useful thing that could happen would be the beginning of a dialogue between India and Pakistan dealing with the both Indian and Pakistani problems.” "The dialogue should be set up in such a way that it can extend over a long period of time so it doesn't head for some summit meeting where some dramatic things have to be concluded."

He made the comments in an interview with foreign channel ahead of the arrival late on Thursday of US Secretary of State Colin Powell who is on a mission aimed at defusing tensions in the subcontinent.

That is great news, and it would be revolutionary if implemented properly. Let's see who actually will and have the opportunity to be members at the local assemblies and bring forward their voices to the National Assembly. If it is just a numbers game, and assemblies are for and by the landlords, then it would be the same old story with new facade.
