India eases stance with Pakland
India said it was open to dialogue with Pakistan and called a speech by the Pakistani president "path-breaking." Indian Home Minister Lal K. Advani praised a speech in which President Musharraf condemned terrorism and vowed to curb Islamic militants. Advani's comments followed his return from Washington and came on the eve of a visit by Secretary of State Colin Powell.
Musharraf appears to have taken a deep breath and set about doing things right. Here's hoping he's successful - and that none of his constituents shoots him.
