Bush seeks truce in leaders' spat (BBC)

US President George W Bush has appealed to the presidents of Pakistan and Afghanistan to put aside their differences and fight terrorism.

Mr Bush hosted a dinner for Pervez Musharraf and Hamid Karzai. But at a public appearance with him, the two leaders did not speak or shake hands.

The two disagree on how to fight the Taleban in their border region.

Gen Musharraf has angrily rejected allegations that his ISI intelligence service aided al-Qaeda and the Taleban.

2. Don't fret

I'm sure our highly competent SOS will be able to smooth out this relationship. Who could resist that girlish smile and a little "C'mon fellas, play nice."

And fortunately this is our only problem she has to deal with in foreign relations now; Condi has threatened and insulted everyone else into liking us already.

:sarcasm:
