Dr Singh's Stockholm Syndrome

B Raman in Rediff.com, doesn't mince words in highlighting the stupidity of the Govt in setting up the joint anti-terror mechanism with Pak when the west is growing wary of the Pak General's sincerety in his support to war on terrorism.

He even compares this to a scenario in which Bush and Blair accepting a proposal from the Laden for a joint anti-terrorism cooperation mechanism.

He also emphasizes the fact that there has not been a single instance in which the Paks have extended a legal assistance since its formation in 1947.

Excerpts from the article:
---
At a time when a growing number of Western analysts and policy-makers have begun doubting the sincerity of Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf and suspecting that he has been playing a double role -- openly as a front-line ally in the war against terrorism and covertly as a supporter of Pakistan-based jihadi terrorists -- our prime minister has sought to play down the extent of Musharraf's perfidy with regard to jihadi terrorism directed against India from Pakistani territory with the help of organisations such as Lashkar which operate under the control of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence.

It is apparent that the prime minister has no meaningful policy to propose to the people to deal with jihadi terrorism. He does not know how to deal with Musharraf.
