wall street journal opinion piece on sri lanka

read this wall street journal article on sri lanka entitled
"defeating terrorists - sri lanka is beating the tigers through military force, not negotiation".
it displays excellent grasp of reality and history of sri lanka's fight against terrorists and the lessons that other governments can draw from it .
that grasp of details is unlike most of foreign coverage which are either superficial, or downright biased towards ltte terrorist pussies, or both ( esp when it comes to media institutions like bbc that hava an ingrained leftist (or as they say in america "liberal") bias.)

The truth our "Kottu-sphere" have never wanted to accept, until a western media re-emphasis like this!


///We recount this history at length to make a simple point: Colombo's military strategy against Tamil terrorists has worked. Negotiations haven't. That's an important reminder as Israel faces its own terrorism problem and as the U.S. works to foster stability and political progress in Iraq. Take note, Barack Obama.\\

Take Note Sanjana Hattotuwa!

If they're 'pussies' we wonder why you've been fighting them for so long? pull your pants up and go out into the sun a bit. moronism is taking over the world we fear...

Who said the end of the conventional war was the end of the LTTE? Even if the LTTE is finished, who's to say another outfit won't rise up again if Tamil's continue to be treated like dirt in Sri Lanka?

Don't get ahead of yourself.

What is so impressive in there? A war mongering media has at last found something to cling to. When the next country is been invaded we might here two words, 'Sri Lanka'.
