Of all international engagements, the one between US President George W. Bush and his Pakistan counterpart Pervez Musharraf is the most entertaining. There is barely a dull day and they can run through a range of emotions from a bear-hug to betrayal in the matter of hours. Over the past few days, they’ve done just that.
