Pakistan looking to change format of historic peace process with India
2006-07-10
ISLAMABAD, June 9 (KUNA) -- As the cracks of disappointment start weakening the structure of historic peace guesthouse, built by the two angry and moody nuclear neighbors, Pakistan and India, [Pakistan] is likely to modify the map.
Editor's note: Gah! I hate mixed metaphors. (Unless it's me mixing them, lol.)
The third round of historic and cautious Composite Dialogue Process (CDP) though helped the two countries revive air, road, cultural, economic and trade ties, but let them down on finding a viable solution of the core Kashmir dispute. According to the [Paki] Foreign Office, the foreign Secretaries of the two countries will review the progress made in the third round of composite dialogue on July 20 in New Delhi. Official sources told KUNA that they will also deliberate upon Kashmir and Peace and Security related matters.

Islamabad has already conveyed its annoyance to New Delhi for not holding concrete talks on the Kashmir issue and not even responding to the President General Pervez Musharraf's proposals. To make the process more productive, said sources, Islamabad will seek to change the talks format with suggestions to hold regular meetings at the political level. Hindu-majority India and Muslim Pakistan have fought two of their three wars over Kashmir and came close to another conflict over the Himalayan region in 2002. At the brink of third war, both countries while realizing weapon is not the only solution opted to resolve their bilateral matters through dialogue. The much applauded CDP began in 2004 when the leadership of two countries held meeting at the sideline of South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation.

#2  not even responding to the President General Pervez Musharraf's proposals

(1) Withdraw border troops from Poonch and Baramullah (which control the jihadi infiltration routes across the LOC)

(2) Demilitarize Jammu and Kashmir (so that the Pak army can just walk in).

(3) Be flexible (what is mine is mine, what is yours is negotiable - India should cede territory to Pakistan)

Perv is lucky that Manmohan Singh is a mild mannered and polite fellow.
There are politicians in India who could tell him exactly where he can put his "peace proposals".

#1  The Process? You meet with the Indian leader, and then invade Kargil, Kashmir, 2 months later.
