The dark clouds of war over India-Pakistan

It appears to be an intifada of sorts in Kashmir, and the situation there is one of the worst in recent years.
Against that background, the foreign ministers of India and Pakistan were to hold talks ...

Here a a few reports:
The day prior to the meeting, India's Home Secretary (a civil service position, not to be confused with the American "Secretary") flatly stated that Pakistan's ISI was directly behind the Bombay (Mumbai) terrorism:
"It was not just a peripheral role," the Indian Express newspaper quoted Pillai as saying. "They (ISI) were literally controlling and coordinating it from the beginning till the end."
Like that will go well with the Pakistani government, eh!  Not that this statement was the clincher, but the talks failed. Spectacularly.
The Pakistani minister was not pleased with the Indian contingent:

Pakistan from the start had been insisting on a sustained dialogue and picking up from where the composite dialogue was suspended by India, but New Delhi's contention was that since the process was called off because of the Mumbai terror attack, it cannot be restarted without some action in unravelling the conspiracy and bringing the culprits to book by Islamabad.

Commenting on the way the Indians conducted the negotiations, the Minister said the Indian side appeared ill-prepared with Mr. Krishna having to time and again consult New Delhi.

Pointing out that he had entered the dialogue well prepared and with the full mandate of the Pakistani leadership, Mr. Qureshi pondered aloud why his counterpart — who is supposed to preside over Indian diplomacy — needed to consult New Delhi ever so often. 

India's minister disagrees:

External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna said here that India did not think it was prudent at this stage to accept the Pakistani offer of timelines because of the complexity of the issues involved. “We told them terrorism is the biggest problem in normalising relations. Unless this is met, everything else will be futile. In diplomatic parleys, we don't go by a timeline unless it is absolutely necessary. The question of timeline was not feasible.''

The Minister dismissed suggestions that the Indian delegation was not flexible and ill-prepared. “I am not going to score debating points. The fact of the matter is we did discuss many issues of concern…. The mandate was very clear. As External Affairs Minister, I confined myself to the mandate. I am quite satisfied,'' he observed.

Sensing a political opening, the out-of-power the crazy nutcase Hindu religious fundamentalist party, the BJP, calls for suspending talks altogether:

“The time has come for India to call off the dialogue,” she said. There was no need for India to keep putting up with insults heaped upon its representatives.

At the party headquarters here, spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said Mr. Qureshi seemed to have lost his cool because Home Secretary G.K. Pillai mentioned about the Inter-Services Intelligence of Pakistan in a comment he had made. This showed the ISI was the “real boss” in Pakistan, he said.

At some point, the game of chicken could lead to one completely losing it.  I hope that dangerous day does not come. ever.
But, worry we should.
