I wish I could write like David Warren...
David Warren writes like I wish I could write. He's precise. He's systematic. He's not a smartass. We come to many of the same conclusions, but they sound better, more logical when he puts them down on screen...
On Monday, Pervez Musharraf, the Pakistani dictator, made an address to his nation that could please no one outside it. While he repeated his promise to prevent Kashmiri jihadists from infiltrating Indian Jammu and Kashmir, it is a promise the Indians are tired of hearing, whenas Mr. Musharraf never acts upon it. The speech was, on balance, shockingly belligerent for the leader of a country in Pakistan's situation. Coming on the heels of Pakistan's missile tests, it seemed almost designed to trigger an Indian assault. Thinking he was calling an Indian bluff, Mr. Musharraf may have been calling his own.
I wish I'd put it that way.
