#1 But this second war on terror seems as ill-conceived as the first. The danger is that it distracts from the truth of how much the two countries share.

India's point, if I'm not mistaken, is that it no longer wishes to share some of those things.

#2 This reminds me of the old Mexican complaint that the US stole the part of Mexico that had all the paved roads.

Pakistan was India but then they got independence and made a mess of it. Perhaps they should look and see what they did differently. Perhaps Madrasses instead of Engineering schools was not a successful game plan.
