So with Mr Singh and Mr Aziz running things, is the future of South Asia now in the safest of hands?In many ways, yes.
Mr Aziz expects tax revenues to increase by 24% in the current fiscal year.This is where the scepticism comes in.
Unless Mr Aziz allows India some sort of victory, the clash at Kargil could turn into something still uglier and bigger.
Mr Aziz will be in no position to restore parliament's authority.The situation is less dire in India, because the system there contains more than enough democracy to compensate for Mr Singh's unorthodox route to power.
Many, incidentally, are reported to have been taken in by madrassas such as Mr Aziz's.Amid all this distressing news, the government is striving to present the fighting in South Waziristan as something positive.
Only 40 Sunnis and Shias were reported killed.Not much more attention in Pakistan at least was paid to one of the first judgments of Mr Aziz's new sharia court a fatwa issued on April 8th calling for the sacking and punishment of the tourism minister, Nilofar Bakhtiar.
The Times investigation documented property transfers between Mr. Low and Mr. Aziz, including one on Hillcrest Road in Beverly Hills that was done behind the veil of a shell company, with no property transfer filed in public records, as well as the role that Mr. Low played in helping to finance Mr. Aziz' movie business.
Mr. Perez de Cuellar announced that hoped to meet with Mr. Aziz on Saturday, hours after the Security Council adopted a resolution giving countries the right to enforce the economic embargo against Iraq by halting shipping to and from the country.
Mixed feelings about Mr. Aziz are common.
Mr. Aziz ran toward him and threw the credit card machine, which was about the size of a large rock.
When Mr. Cucher was invited to represent Venezuela in the 1995 Venice Biennale, he had to petition to get Mr. Aziz included.
