Actually, by default, India's total intelligence failure coupled with incompetence of the bungling inept area military commander, played in her favor - for the first time the entire world saw first hand Pakistan's unprovoked aggression against India, and this too coming just after 9-11 - the world and especially Uncle Sam, was in no mood for tolerating this blatant military adventurism of this Islamic Terrorist nation - Musharaf gambled and lost - in Kargil. But he also won - it's precisely because of the Kargil fiasco that he became Pak's Supreme Commander, and still is, and may remain so for life.
