Please do not digress

India/Israel or Hindu-Jewish relations are very interesting and deserve articles of their own. But please do not lose focus here. The question is what does Musharraf's speech mean, if anything.

India enters only peripherally, and that if the motive behind Musharraf's speech is to reduce India-Israel bonhomie.

More important is to examine whether Musharraf has stood by his words, i.e., meant what he said, in many other contexts. I personally think that there is a compelling case that Musharraf's words are likely to be worthless, based on the public record of lies, obfuscations and evasions.
