a small opinion if I may...

Colin Powell was/is not pro-pak or anti-India..He is pro USA only..He is a pragmatist...He looks after US' interests and nothing else..

"He is pro USA only."

I suppose you could argue that in case of any American politician. Even Nixon or Carter. From an Indian POV, Collin Powell was most definitely anti-Indian. Thankfully Bush and Rumsfield aren't. Even Amrmitage for whatever he was worth was at least not an anti-Indian. From whatever I know, behind closed doors Armitage was the one who threatened Pakistan if they did not comply. You could thank Colin Powell for being the reason why Indian offer of help just after 9/11 was by-passed and Pakistan was made the "front running ally". Something that India is still smarting over even now.
