I can't find the original thread, but seem to remember someone asking about President Musharaff's efforts to fight terrorism.
It appears they've had enough of subduing the tribes and a peace deal has been reached. link. Quote:

You do realize that someday Kashmir has to be fought over. It may be today, it may be tomorrow, but it must happen, and it will happen.

This is just realpolitik by Musharraf. His army was getting its arse handed to it in the mountains, plus he had some Taliban-influenced clerics in that Pashtun tribal region which had already been calling for a jihad against the Pak army. Plus twice assassins linked to the Taliban had tried to assassinate him. This was an act of pragmatic self-interest.
