CNN.com - Pakistani, Indian leaders agree to talks in Russia - June 4, 2002

Whew. Russia really is the better choice for this, not the US (or China!). Russia is traditionally friendly with India and unfriendly to Pakistan. Since Pakistan is the party begging for peace, it's probably better than someone likely to be sympathetic to India negotiate; that way, India will less likely feel it's being abused. Musharraf, meanwhile, is looking for any way out; hopefully the Russians can provide one.
