I love how US Foreign policy under the Bush administration has always been about hindsight, and hardly ever about foresight. In the late 1990s US was all over India regarding not signing the NPT, conducting underground tests, etc...labeling the country as a "rogue" nation. Seriously, India was your concern? Shouldn't the Bush administration have re-evaluated its foreign policy with Pakistan, post 9/11 and the war on terror? what good will it do to worry now, when over half the country is filled with terrorist factions? i recently had a chance to speak with Ed Meese, and i asked him what he thought about the Bush administration's relationship with Pakistan and what his predictions were...let's just say, the answer was most unsatisfactory.
Quoted: Pakistan says the technology is under control. But Washington wonders.

Quoted: The screening of Indian movies in Pakistan stopped after the 1965 war but certain films were allowed by different governments - the classic "Mughal-e-Azam" for instance. Now, all Indian movies can be screened in Pakistan after clearance by the government-controlled censor board.
With the two often hostile neighbours sharing bonds of culture and language, film lovers and industry insiders here say "Taare Zameen Par" represents a "golden era" of exchange of films and can be a major step towards long-lasting peace in the region.

A public experiment that was better in theory than in practice: "In the end, the restrooms, installed in early 2004, had become so filthy, so overrun with drug abusers and prostitutes, that although use was free of charge, even some of the city’s most destitute people refused to step inside them."
