South Asia's ugly truce

Article Abstract:

Relations between Pakistan and India have worsened following an attempt by Pakistan to take control of part of Kashmir in spring 1999. Pakistan's support for insurgency in Kashmir has been long term, though the policy may have become bolder after Pakistan's development of nuclear weapons. India has tended to show restraint, but this cannot be taken for granted. Pakistan needs foreign loans, and it is not in its interest to become involved in a war. President Bill Clinton may visit Pakistan as part of a wider tour of the region.
