Peace between neighbours (II)

Letter August 29, 2012
Do they actually believe that they are in the possession of ALL the necessary ‘silver bullets’?

NEW DELHI: The editorial states: “People in the West, who set a lot of store by CBMs among rival states, are bemused by the fact that they simply have not worked in South Asia”

I think it is we (South Asians) who should be ‘bemused’, indeed flummoxed, by the logic those in the West use —what on earth makes them think that whatever works for one simply MUST work for anyone and everyone else? Do they actually believe that they are in the possession of ALL the necessary ‘silver bullets’?
