CNN.com - Musharraf: Threat of war remains - May 27, 2002

Well, duh. And it's going to stay until (a) he stops the terrorists, or (b) there's no need for a threat because the war has started... I don't see an exit here. The two sides have gone too far, and Musharraf can't back down on Kashmir now. (And he didn't show any signs of it today.) I don't think either side actually wants to go to war; they know what could happen. But I don't see a political way out other than us coming down hard on both sides, and I don't see the Administration doing that.
