Im sorry but I dont see this as such a world altering life or death sort off circumstance. Agra and the Parliament are miles apart. Musharaf having breakfast with reporters and such things doesnt warrant an attack on the Indian parliament. Im sorry, I dont think the Parliament attack was some kind of conspiracy plot hatched by some shadow Ppak group to counter for the lack f succes in Agra.
Most of the Thamasha that Musharaf displays is not taken seriously. Even he knows that. His whole agenda on Kashmir that he put foward didnt gain much support, and was given a cold shoulder by the Indians. Despite this, the peace process muddles along. Regardless, I feel the process has come far enough that such displays are irrelevant.
You also seem to down play the intelligence and political savy of Pakistani’s and over play yours. Pakistan policy makers arent as stupid as you might think, and Indian policy makers artent as brilliant and democratic as you might give them credit for. I mean the recent deal on the Kashmir bus service would seem some what rash by some members of your media.

The Bus service actually shocked hardliners on the Pak side. I saw the reports and despite the Pak govt in Isloo not sending any official on Pak Kashmir, thousands of people showed up to greet the bus on their own, even though there are only 30,000 odd former Valley residents in Pakistani Kashmir.

Also, Musharraf has been told by the US that all these new weapons and lavish praise he’s getting is based on peace on the LoC. That is why he is talking of soft borders etc.

It doesn’t matter if Musharraf does not agree to LoC as border as a permanent solution. India will be happy if a “permanent solution” is pushed back 30-40 years down the line.

Meanwhile Jihad-e-Kashmir is dead. If the jihadis try something serious, all India will have to do is raise hell and Pakistan can forget the F-16s, military aid, wagaira wagaira…
