To quote from the article "If (he) is sincere in proclaiming his desire for peace, we will be able to congratulate ourselves on having reached agreement; if he has other designs or if he has to give way one day to some fanatic we will at least have postponed the outbreak of a war, and that is indeed a gain." .... Wait ... that was what had been written about Hitler !
So what has India achieved ? Fernandes has declared that infiltration is down. For how long ? If Kashmir becomes "peaceful" for a couple of months, Bush and Blair will forget about it. Would some others be up to their old tricks again, then ? The elections are crucial. A high turnout --- not forced by the army --- would be a vote of confidence. Else, the Government must seriously rethink it's Kashmir policy -- why not "hand over" Kashmir to those who think they can rule it, with the proviso that it does not become part of Pakistan ? An autonomous Kashmir with the Indian Army at its borders and the Indian Rupee as its currency. People might come to their senses in a 5 to 10 years.
