William, the key is the upcoming Kashmir elections. If there is violence then, it is definitely going to serve as a barrier to peace. It is critical that we remeber Musharraf's role in Kargil when Nawaz Sharif was the Prime Minister. At that time, the Pakintani army bress, Musharraf included, wanted war with India no matter what. We all remember the spat, when Musharraf was saying something in public that did not jive with what Nawaz Sharif was saying in public. So it would be interesting to see if Musharraf can be reigned in and tamed.

As I said, plebiscite today is totally irrelevant. All parties concerned were leaning towards a plebiscite in 1947 when Pakistan decided to settle the issue militarily and soon discovered it could not do so. If we have a plebiscite in Kashmir now, then why can we not have one in Sind, one in Baluchistan etc. As I said we have got to move with the realities of modern time and not suggest solutions which were relevent sometime in the psat and is not relevant any more.
