"Musharraf Has Attempted To Put Up A Smokescreen Of Action"
"The key question is whether the US backs off from its overcommitment to Pakistan. If the US were to back off from this...lionising of Musharraf, it will (greatly) affect the psychology in New Delhi."
Selig Harrison is Director of the National Security Project at the Centre for International Policy in Washington. Considered extremely influential among the think-tanks, his views on South Asia are closely followed. Here he talks to Sanjay Suri. Excerpts:
How convincing do you find Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf's crackdown on terrorists?
Is Musharraf likely to stop this infiltration?
You're making a distinction between the two, but aren't the two one?
Is Washington recognising this distinction?
So, is Musharraf himself successfully blurring that distinction?
Indian leaders say they want action and not words leading to an end to cross-border terrorism. How long can India wait, and for what?
What will it take to have peace between India and Pakistan?
So where is this leading to?
