the author of this aticle is either himself naive or disoriented, or biassed.
he thinks that indian politicians are naive or fooled by musharaf pakistan etc. i do not agree with this at all.
agree, few occassiona indian did believe pakistanis and paid the price like indo-china war, kargil etc, but except those few occassions other times indian politicians, or political leaders like PMs presidents etc are not naive. they are just cunning or very shrewd politicians that is all. they have their political reasons to act naive. the author thinks every indian thinks like him but he doesn't understand or know that there are lot of indians like our politicians bending infront of paki leaders. these people's vote counts a lot. and our shrewd political leaders gain far more by surrendering or licking paki leaders than by counter attacking them.
indians politicians are shrewd and quickly understand once they get power that it is better to do what they have been doing which looks silly and stupid to people like us and our author here but looks great to many other people in india and abroad including powerful countries like US and China.
