“We will go after the terrorist no matter what cloak he wears, no matter which group he belongs to,” Qureshi, who cut short his visit to New Delhi, promised.

Was a joint India-Pakistan investigation into the latest carnage possible? “We have asked India to tell us what kind of assistance they need.”

Qureshi revealed that External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee had written a “detailed note” to him on the Mumbai attack, which would be handed over to the Pakistani side soon. “The note is on its way to me,” the Foreign Minister said.

“The Government of Pakistan will be as accommodating and cooperative as possible,” he stressed. “We face a common threat. We are both victims of terror.”

Taking it at face value, it's a good step.

We'll see if India is in a listening mood, or if they plan to follow the US' precedent.

1. Kudos to Pakistan.

Some of the terrorists may have been Pakistani in origin, but that sure as hell doesn't mean they were doing anything sponsored by their government.


Footnote: To those who think I always suck: Still think the same way?

2. I love you at least Toady!

Of course, the value of that might be up for discussion...

3. I hope India does listen, and Pakistan does in fact "go after the terrorist, no matter what cloak he

wears." If India and Pakistan become closer and less antagonistic because of this, at least something good will have come of it.

4. Indeed - adversity can be another name for opportunity, if handled correctly.
