on Mr. bin Laden’s compound – the story senior U.S. officials are telling – then why should Indian diplomats and military officials trust their Pakistani counterparts in peace talks?“If anyone in the world believes Pakistan was unaware of where Mr. bin Laden was living, I just laugh at that,” said Brajesh Mishra, a former Indian national security adviser. Mr. Mishra said today’s developments simply underscore that Pakistan allows its territory to be a base for terrorists and he says India should call off the peace talks.Though India’s Ministry of External Affairs didn’t comment on the talks with Pakistan, its statement about Mr, http://www.cheaptomsoutlet0.com - toms shoes on sale . bin Laden suggests that New Delhi, with the information it has so far, will take a tough line in public. “The world must not let down its united effort to overcome terrorism and eliminate the safe havens and sanctuaries that have been provided to terrorists in our own neighborhood,” the Indian statement said.More In Osama-bin-LadenWhat Pakistan Thinks of Zero Dark ThirtyWhat Happened to Ajmal Kasab's BodyU.S. Ambassador to Pakistan Bowing OutU.S. Issues Travel Alert for PakistanQ A: Ahmed Rashid on Pakistan's Many ChallengesBut Naresh Chandra, a former Indian ambassador to the U.S, http://www.cheaptomsshoesoutletstore.us - cheap toms shoes sale ., said he believes India will keep the talks with Pakistan on track and build on some of the positive recent developments, including a meeting last week in which the nations’ commerce secretaries agreed to greatly expand trade ties. Indian officials “may make some statements for public effect in India – people here will say this confirms their worst suspicions,” Mr. Chandra said. But “the government won’t allow this to affect the positive momentum generated by the prime minister’s initiative.”Of course, Washington could shore up Pakistan’s bona fides by saying in coming days that Islamabad played a real, substantive role in the bin Laden operation or its lead-up – for example, by supplying crucial intelligence. That would make it easier for Mr. Singh to tell his countrymen that peace talks are a worthwhile pursuit.U.S. President Barack Obama did nod to Pakistan in his televised address Sunday evening U.S. time. “It’s important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding. Indeed, http://www.cheaptomsshoesoutletstor.com - toms shoes reviews , bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well, and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people.”He added: “Going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates.”But what’s good for Indian politics in this case may be bad for Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari. His government could very likely face a domestic backlash regardless of how the facts flesh out – either for helping the U.S. or for being out of the loop as Americans conducted a major operation on Pakistani soil.Mr. Mishra said he wouldn’t be surprised if militants in Pakistan with allegiances to al Qaeda carry out reprisal attacks in Pakistan. “They must be very disappointed
