| Pakistan and India, best of friends |

| Peace with Pakistan is permanent and the South Asian rivals are unlikely ever to fight again, Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee said on Friday in a bid to capitalize on a thaw in ties ahead of elections. Vajpayee was speaking at an election rally in Amritsar, after his deputy, Lal Krishna Advani, swept into the Sikh holy city at the end of the first leg of a nationwide campaign tour. "I don’t think we will fight ever again. This peace will be permanent, the friendship will last. There is no other way out for neighbors but to live peacefully," Vajpayee told a crowd of more than 5,000 people. "Had anyone imagined that we would have such good ties with our neighbor and play cricket with them?" Vajpayee asked, referring to an ongoing cricket series between India and Pakistan, the first between the rivals in 14 years. Hey, it’s good that they’re talking this way but... mark me down as skeptical. |
