The London Times, not usually

The London Times, not usually a friend of the Bush Administration, is crediting the US with defusing the India/Pakistan crisis: “The Bush Administration has been almost faultless in its handling of the most dangerous nuclear confrontation since 1962. Its envoys, notably the astute Richard Armitage, have bluntly warned Delhi and Islamabad of the dangers and won commitmemts to restraint….[T]hey have acted with calm and brutal insistence.” No such kudos yet from American newspapers.
