That it takes two to tango is a cliché. Post-September 11, India and the US were tangoing all right, but a toe-crusher too many has slowed the two great democracies down. The Indians are miffed with the Americans' continued flirtation with Pakistan, which New Delhi sees as a terrorist state. Washington wants India to mend fences with Pakistan and bring a semblance of peace in South Asia.
