Ananova - Musharraf dismisses nuclear fears

I hope he's right. Of course, it all depends. Would he really forbear if India looked about to win a war leaving it in control of not only Kashmir but much of Pakistan proper? And if he did, would he be in power much longer, and would his successor forbear?

"We've called for a no-war pact with India, that there shouldn't be any war," he said. "We've called for de-nuclearization of South Asia, so we've called for reduction of forces."

I expect they have. But that's really pretty dumb. Leaving aside the whole idea of a "no-war pact" (what are you going to do if the other side violates it, declare war?) Pakistan has a much smaller military than India, and it nuclear arsenal is smaller and less advanced. Of course Pakistan wants a reduction in forces and nuclear disarmament. It's not going to happen.
