by Praful Bidwai NEW DELHI - Before Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh met last Friday in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations, no one could have forecast how their first-ever talks would turn out. As it happened, their scheduled 15-minute one-on-one meeting extended to an hour.
The two men – who would have traded hostile rhetoric at the UN General Assembly had they followed the by-now-familiar script – came out looking pleased. They effusively declared the India-Pakistan dialogue "historic" and their own discussions a successful "essay in mutual comprehension." They sincerely vowed to carry forward the dialogue.
===== Nu, zayats, pogodi!
