The nuclear deal with India is not a benevolent gift from the emperor to a client state. It was a clever move to put India out of the competition for fossil fuels.Unquestionably, there are economic motivations behind the agreement. For one thing, the US nuclear industry hopes to cash in.Tens of thousands of Indians waving black and white flags and chanting 'Death to Bush!' rallied on Wednesday in New Delhi to protest a visit by US President George W Bush.More protests are planned for today

Well, just so that you get your facts straight:\n\n1. During the partition, it was ruled that all the princely states(Kashmir was one) could decide whether they wanted to join India or Pakistan. The ruler of Kashmir remained undecided till Pakistani backed tribal invasion in 1947-48. the ruler decided to accede to India following which India sent it's troop to Kashmir for it's defence.\n\n2. The tribal invasion succeeded in occupying some protion of kashmir which is not the 'Pakistan Occupied Kashmir(PoK)'. Pakistan, however does not agree and calls it Azad Kashmir(Free Kashmir) and has coined a similar term 'Indian Occupied Kashmir(IoK)' for the indian territory in Kashmir.\n\n3. In 1965, pakistan crossed the ceasefire line in kashmir to try and capture kashmir, which was thwarted by the Indian action towards Lahore.\n\nPakistani history books(and consequently those who have grown up reading these) however proclaim  that India was the aggressor.\n\n4. Starting 1989 pakistan established terrorist training camps(the same are used for militants operating in Iraq) in PoK to to train extremist elements to disrupt peace in Kashmir.\n\nInitially the local muslims were also involved, a group called JKLF(Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front) being the leading one. During this time hindus were driven out of Kashmir. The economy collapsed and it resulted in a snowball effect of unemployment->unease->terrorism.\n\nHowever, over a period a time, the locals have joined politics and have come for dialogue while ISI(Inter services Intelligence, Pakistani secret service) backe elements have continued to send foreign elements to continue the unrest.\n\n5. In 1999 these militants crossed into Indian territory and lodged themselves in barracks location at mountain tops, vacated by the Indian Army during the winters. Army was called in to dislodge these insurgents, with air force also being used.\n\nUpon recapture, amongst those killed were regulars of the pakistani army, especially notable being regulars of their special forces whose bodies pakistan refused to accept. They had their disposal official arsenal of the pakistani military, even anti-aircraft missiles which were used to shoot down vehicles plying on the road connecting the valley to the rest of the nation.\n\nPakistan continues to harbour and train terrorists whose activities target even the innocent civilians.\n\nCrux of the matter is that terrorism in Kashmir is Pakistan sponsored and India is trying to defend it's soil.

L'opinion: Pakistan needs UN and OIC umbrella to send peace-keeping forces to Iraq\nIraq-Pakistan, Politics, 7/21/2003 \n\nPakistan will only send peace-keeping missions to Iraq under a mandate of the United Nations and the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), Pakistani president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, who paid an official visit to Morocco, told Morocan daily "L'opinion."\n\nMusharraf said Pakistan has not yet made a decision regarding a request to send troops to Iraq for a peace-keeping mission, underlining that the final decision should serve Pakistan's national interests and its relations with Islamic countries in the region.\n\nOn the situation in the Middle East, Musharraf said the only means to establish sustainable peace in the region goes through carrying on negotiations that would lead to a comprehensive and fair solution in conformity with United Nations resolutions and based on the legitimate right of the Palestinian people of self-determination.\n\nEvoking Arab Maghreb countries' position on the Kashmir question, the Pakistani president underscored that he is certain that these countries fully understand Pakistan's position concerning its support for a peaceful solution to the conflict.\n\nMusharraf also said Pakistani authorities do not have any new information about where Ussam Bin Laden is, underlining that they don't know for sure if he is dead or still alive. In the same vein, he hoped Pakistani-Afghan relations would be further reinforced on the basis of mutual sovereignty and non-interference in the internal affairs of the other party.\n\nHe added that Pakistan is participating in the re-construction of Afghanistan and that it fully supports the interim administration of president Hamid Karazay.

The United States and Pakistan share a close, long-term partnership. The $3 billion, five-year assistance package announced by President Bush in June 2003 demonstrates our commitment to support Pakistan's efforts to strengthen security in the region, help Pakistan's participation in the war on terror, and build economic opportunities for its citizens by reducing poverty, illiteracy and the conditions in which extremism flourishes.    \n\nU.S. debt relief and development assistance for Pakistan will enhance private sector growth, economic reform and good governance.  The $200 million of Economic Support Fund assistance to Pakistan this year and $300 million of Economic Support Funds requested of the Congress for Fiscal Year 2005 target the following areas: \n\n    * At least $100 million of Economic Support Funds for Fiscal Year 2005 will go for social sector support, including university scholarships, new health, education and water projects, and training for local officials, including women councilors.   \n    * $200 million allocated in Economic Support supplemental funding will be applied to debt relief in Fiscal Year 2004.  The United States has led the effort to dramatically reduce Pakistan's official debt through Paris Club rescheduling and bilateral forgiveness.  Pakistan's debt to the United States has been cut in half - by $1.5 billion - freeing up national revenue for programs to improve the quality of life and increase the capacity of Pakistan's local governments to meet the needs of their people.  \n\nOther U.S. government assistance will strengthen education; improve maternal and child health care delivery; strengthen the legislature, local government, political parties, civil society and the independent media; and increase access to micro-credit.\n\nAt the same time, the $300 million Foreign Military Financing assistance requested for next year will strengthen Pakistan's ability to confront terrorist remnants seeking sanctuary in its border regions.  Other security assistance to Pakistan will help strengthen its law enforcement  and counter-narcotics capacities. \n\nTogether, the United States and Pakistan are dismantling the A.Q. Khan network responsible for proliferating nuclear weapons-related technologies.  We will remain vigilant in the fight against the spread of all weapons of mass destruction.   The United States is fully engaged with Pakistan on a range of important nonproliferation issues and is working with Pakistan on steps to bring its export control system in line with international standards

He should but it'll be a tough sale in Pakistan. I bet he is upset at Bush for making that pact with India.

For India, it is vital Bush keeps up good relations for two very important reasons.  The first is that our trade deficit with India and the holding of US bonds as their treasury security makes them strategically important.  In other words, they are one of many countries (ironically) financing our national debt and your cushy un-productive (service/retail industry oriented) lifestyle.  For them to suddenly cash in on those bonds and back themselves with either gold or Euros would be disastrous for the US economy.  The second reason is that members of the Indian government are complicit in the 9/11 cover-up.  A majority of the steel from the WTC collapse was immediately shipped off to Indian scrap yards, and any remaining to this day would be "smoking gun" forensic evidence which would be brutal, if not devastating, for the administration.\n\nWith Pakistan, we helped install that guy (Musharrif) in the first place and he has nukes.  As it gets harder and harder for him to keep a lid on the chaos in his own country, we need to ensure him that America still backs him all the way and will keep up the foreign aid and military neighboring which helps him stay in power as his cronies loot the country of anything of value.

After 2008 General Musharaf will be in serious trouble in Pakistan.\n\nThe USA aids, and helps keep that dictator in power. With Bush gone, Musharraf will be removed by his people.

I actually want a distance between India and the Muslim states.\nIn this respect I would prefer India to increase cordiality with states like Japan, the USA, Israel and the EU etc.\n\nAlthough, having stated this, our major long term threat is not Paki Land, it is China.  China has already begun to make inroads everywhere, and if India doesn't try and compete we will show ourselves to be the biggest political novices on the face of the earth.
