PMs non-starter peace initiative

It looks like our PM has been on a back door diplomacy with Pakistan Army Chief Kayani for the past 10 months. Manmohan Singh has failed spectacularly as a PM on all fronts, economic, governance, in tackling corruption and overall is being held in contempt by the politicians and the officialdom. Even the middle class that supported him is wary of him. Now during the last one year of his reign (surely he will resign in time to contest in the next Presidential Election in 2012), he sees peace with Pakistan and the ensuing Nobel Prize as his only option to leave a lasting legacy. But knowing Pakistan, and the saner elements in the Indian officialdom, he is doomed to fail. On the issue of making peace with Pakistan, even those senior advisors in the PMO dont see eye to eye with MMS, and the people of the Country whom the PM is supposed to represent dont want peace with Pakistan at any cost, and definitely not at the cost of India's self esteem. We are paying a heavy price for electing a nincompoop as our PM, and I just hope the PM doesnt succeed in his half witted attempts to make an illusionary peace with Pakistan.
