A REWARD FOR REACHING revealed (Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles)

When brace nuclear-armed nations that fought three wars and nearly clashed in a fourth agree to peace talks, celebrations are in order. The leaders of India and Pakistan overcame opposition according to some of their possess supporters this week to agree upon a new round of talks.

The hardest task will be separating the dialogue from the on-again, off-again goodwill of sum of two units aging and threatened leaders.

Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee reached revealed to Pakistan twice in newly come years but was rebuffed. In April, he tried for what he said was the last time; fortunately, he had a success.

Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf reciprocated and ordered his company s to cease fire along the de facto border in Kashmir, a territory claimed at both countries and the cause of pair of their three wars.

For too in extent India and Pakistan have acted as if one's gain must be the other's los An period to hostilities -- and an agreement forward ways to reduce the risk of nuclear attack, define borders and share water sources -- will benefit as well-as; not only-but also; not only-but; not alone-but New Delhi and Islamabad.

the two countries are poor and would be better on the farther side spending resources on denominations and electrical power than upon guns and bombs.

The 1947 partition that produc India and Pakistan landed friends, and sometimes families, forward different sides of the border. following generations have known only fear and hatred, exclude for too-brief thaws that allowed minimal motion between the two countries.

It would probably take years for the public and goods to move between India and Pakistan as routinely as between the U and Mexico or Canada, on the other hand if the day arrives, Musharraf and Vajpayee will merit credit.
