#1 Side note to Paul

Thanks for your posts re Pakland politics, groups, etc. I dont often respond, as I simply dont have anything valuable to say. I read them quite avidly though.

#3 No problem, I always figured that someone might find the background info useful, and then I found Rantburg and it seemed like just the place I was looking for.

#4 Paul--I second... um, third... what LH sez. I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment on the situation, but I do appreciate the opportunity to bone up on it.

#5 Thanks Paul. It is a plus for me to have a regular "go to" place where I can find well-grounded and reasoned commentary on issues of interest to me.

#6 Yeah Paul thanks for enlightening us on this mystical land. I especially enjoy the Nuggets from the Urdu Press. Always good to hear what "actresses" Bubbli and Billo are up to and how the latest Fuhush Naked Dance riot went.

#7 Paul, I don't know much about Pakistan or India but I know who to ask. Newsday has some articles that seem to indicate that India is trying to reach out to Pakistan. Is this real? And is there a chance that India's effort will be met with any reciprocation. Here are the links:
Indian Deputy PM to Hold Kashmir Talks and India Offers Plans on Pakistan Relations I don't know whether to be an optimist or a realist. Will Lucy just pull the football away again?

#8 I am not too optimistic, India and Pakistan have held talks 3 times in the past 5 years, but nothing substantial ever comes from it. The Indians will complain about Pakistan's use of Kashmir as a proxy war against them, but say that if the 2 countries put Kashmir on the backburner, they will be able to move forward in other areas. Pakistan will say that they are willing to move forward in other areas, but only after the Kashmir issue has been solved. And that will likely be that until Indian elections next year.
